Joblessness
Homelessness
Living in a world of broken promises
wrapt in a rainbow illusion
Count the tears
count the nights spent under bridges
and days braved in hunger
Dreams don't come true
in time they wash away
until we dream some more
The hunger continues
stuck in traffic lights hoping for a meal
but the homelessness continues
birds of the skies have nests to call home
blue eyed hyenas have holes to call home
but what of a black child?
her hunger is centuries old
her homelessness is infinite
she is landless
