Homeless in Nashville

The place where they
feed the homeless
is underwater today
For the first time
in three years
these people
will not be fed
the humble troubled
will suffer more
but what is a little more
when one can expect so little
people look at them
as ghosts in rags
but these are people
in love with this life
who will band together
and be warmth and food
for one another
they will be family
they will be friends
for themselves
for no one else
is there with them today
and they will be hungry
and they will be despised
and God will have love for them
and hopefully hope will sustain
and they will not be alone
