This poem addresses the failure of our government to recognize the plight of the homeless.

Night has seen homeless dreams

 between sheets of clammy cardboard,

Dirty needles, piercing hungry eyes 

Night has seen demons scream

between peals of wasted laughter,

pointless guns, empty hollow rounds,

Night has seen dawn redeemed

 by falls elected fools,

too naive to believe what night has seen.
