A homeless camp

Popped up one day

On downtown streets

They want to stay

Colorful tents

Line street sidewalk

Homeless feel safe

Groups sit and talk

Support systems

Are very near

To help them find

A way that's clear

But others find

Tent city gross

They do not want

Homeless so close

We just want them

To go away

On city streets

They must not stay

Go to shelters

Stay off the streets

Most shelters close

When daylight greets

Our tents are homes

Where we can stay

As we need to

Throughout the day

When forced on streets

At dawn's first ray

We don't have peace

We feel like prey

People are cruel

We don't feel safe

Need quiet place

To escape chafe

We need a home

A place to think

A place to toil

Work out our kinks

A place to find

Our peace of mind

A place to cope

A place to hope

Help homeless find

Some peace of mind

Help them find dome

To make a home

If we want peace

Then we must find

A solution

For peace of mind

No homeless folks

Is just one goal

Help man evolve

A peaceful soul
