"Spare some change"

so common a phrase

among those sitting on the sidewalk

Who are they?

 

They are the poor

the ones who have more tragedy in one day than you will in your lifetime

the ones who see the hearts of most people more than you ever will

the one who freeze to death because you value your coat more

the ones who will starve because you ignore their pleas

 

They are the Homeless

Most homeless will have more room in their heart than your big house

most homeless will give their food to those who they feel need it more

most homeless are neglected because of the stereotypes

most homeless are kinder than those around them

most homeless just want a warm bed and a full belly

 

The world has become to busy and narcissistic to realize

that if you looked on that street corner you try to fly by

you would see a poor human just like you

and all they ask for is

"A cent more"
