I'm trying to work out in my mind br Why the night shelter demands br 10 Dollars a night to rest out of the cold br And danger, when to beg for it is unlawful br How else do I obtain it? br br Its also illegal for a poor mexican that wants to feed his family to br Gain entry into thr US. br But who picks the crops? br All double standards. br br Try to be like me. br Being poor is unspeakable.You are not black or white, br Or middle or lower class. br You are nothing. br br Treatment of our kind br Means bedding in shelters br Treated like filth, chased away by storekeepers br Moved on or locked up by the Police. br br We have no voice, and no face br But I never wanted to be like this. br It happened on a maelstrom of divorce br House loss and job loss. br But you see us everyday br Except you turn away br And try not to meet our eyes.
