Tent City

There is a
Tent City
goin up
in my town

where
every other neighbor
can be found

No more flat screen tv`s
or
video games

Policeman there
Taken everyone`s name

Soup cookin
in an old coffee can
an American flag wavin
above an oldman


I never thought
these times
were just ahead

So many
loosing their home`s
and
No place to lay
their head

There is a
Tent City
Goin Up
in my town

Doesnt seem to matter
where you go
LA, San Dieago
or
Sacramento

Tent City
and
someone there
you probably know



Bailouts for bankers
and
elite families
but
no bailouts
for you
and
no bailouts
for me


I have seen the young
and
I have seen the old


trying to stay warm
from winters` cold

in

Tent City




They are not
bumbs
slackers
or loosers
not druggies
or
even boozers

just yesterday had
a job
and
a home
Now alone
in

Tent City
