Some free writing about homelessness in our city, slightly polished.
This city
Has nothing to hide
Get high enough
You’ll see it all
The sludge, the grime, the rust
The people you can’t trust
But I’ll look out for you
If you want me to
This city
Is broken and beat
Broken homes
On every street
I’m searching for a way
To make it through the day
And slip into the night
And choose my wrong and right
I’m hungry, broke and homeless
Waiting here for you
A little change to make a change
Or two

This is really beautiful. I like everything about it. You even managed to get a bridge in. I like the way you leave the note hanging on "if you want me to".

Oh that is heart breaking but so true and the harmonica captures it so well very very good song and well sung.
