THIS HOMELESS GAME

Curled up dead in Debenhams doorway 
That's how his death was reported today 
Treated as a number and not a name 
Nobody cares in this homeless game 

Natural causes is how this man died 
What is natural about sleeping outside
Not suspicious is what they also said 
Seems suspicious to me not having a bed

The homeless plight touches my heart
What causes a man's life to fall apart ?
This homeless game is both tragic and sad
Another needless death to get me angry and mad

I wholeheartedly agree with you.  What a great write and awareness.  As we sometimes "suffer" with our every day problems, people are off a lot worse.  I couldn't imagine anything worse than not knowing where your next meal is coming from or where you will lay your head.
