Caring

By Lisa Aragon

Sometimes you don’t know what to do

If you look, there will be help, that is true

Things you need are long overdue

Life does not always give us the best view

Homelessness will never be new

People that get over it are very few

Everyone is locked in some kind of zoo

Whenever you pray, it doesn’t have to be on a pew


This poem was written with thanks to everyone and, especially, the Coalition on Homelessness. Only in San Francisco.
