Homelessness

February 24, 2019March 6, 2021 ElRoyPoet

Every day I drive down the street in my truck. I see the homeless people standing on the sidewalk; Beggars holding up a sign, asking for a buck. In the summertime: I enjoy the air-conditioning, As they sweat in the … Continue reading Homelessness
