    D.C. Homeless

     Hear the Child's lonesome pleas!!!
    Alone in the decay of decadence; she stands.
    Lips bloodied, dried and cracked; she thirsts.
    Last meal was moreover a day past; she hungers.
    Can o' beans warmed over sterno; she eats.
    One sorrowful tear trickles down her angelic face,
    Remembrances of happier times and places; she dreams.....
    She dreams for the warm bed that kept her safe.
    Her home, the open skies near the outskirts of the city.
    Occurring in the greatest Capitol on Earth;
    She's Homeless!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
