Homeless

 

Where will I lay my head?
Tonight where will I put my bed?

The estate agent would say-
A room with a view
Open plan living is the way
No maintenance due
No utility bills!
This des res - A place for my bed
In the night chills
Surrounded by dank brick red
Decorated moss green
Low maintenance - so true!
My view - the city lights beam
Passers by- family bound tube-
Turning a blind eye
To me and my plight
I watch with a sigh
Me in the shadows out of sight!
Preparing for the land of screams
My life- the sum of my bags-
Blankets - daily news reams
My bed cardboard and rags
In my open plan abode
Plot number two
The railway arches,near the road
My room with a view
Open air living - bracing!
Low maintenance
No utility billing
But very dangerous!

This is where I will lay my head?
Tonight this is where I will put my bed?

Tomorrow- if I wake to my homeless state
Who knows what will be my future fate?
