Homeless Souls'

For homeless people are a reminder, Of the fragility of our own lives. And the need to support one another, With love, kindness and empathy, to thrive.

Homeless people wander the streets, Their plight often goes unseen. They are the forgotten souls, Living in poverty and without means.

Their stories are varied and complex, Some have lost everything they had. Others were never given a chance, To find a place in this world that's mad.

They sleep on cardboard boxes, Or find shelter under a bridge. They rely on the kindness of strangers, To survive the elements and the fridge.

Their clothes are tattered and worn, Their faces lined with age and stress. They are the invisible ones, Living in the shadows, under duress.

But they are not without hope, For within them lies a spark. A desire to live and be free, To find a place in this world's arc.

They are more than just a statistic, More than the sum of their parts. They are human beings, like you and me, With dreams and hopes in their hearts.

So next time you pass a homeless person, Don't look away or ignore their plea. Offer them a smile or a kind word, And help them find the dignity they seek.

For in the end, we are all one, Connected by our humanity. Let us extend a hand to those in need, And bring an end to homelessness, with unity.

Let us not judge them or their situation, For we do not know what they've been through. We can all fall on hard times, And end up without a roof over our head too.

Let us advocate for affordable housing, And support programs that offer aid. Let us work towards a society, Where no one is left out in the shade.

Let us lend our voices to the cause, And raise awareness of their plight. Let us stand up for the homeless, And fight for their basic human rights.

For they are not just a burden on society, But a reflection of our own humanity. Let us come together and make a difference, In the lives of the homeless, with sincerity.

So let us not turn a blind eye, To those who struggle day by day. Let us show compassion and empathy, And make the world a better place in every way.

For homeless people are a reminder, Of the fragility of our own lives. And the need to support one another, With love, kindness and empathy, to thrive.
