At night the degrees dropped below zero
heavy snow rained down to the ground below
covering homeless tramps bundled and old
on sidewalks shivering with freezing cold
some luckless beggars sleep on parks' benches
forever trapped by penniless fences
a handful few will not survive till dawn
not even when the final ice is gone

At night the degrees dropped below zero
heavy snow rained down to the ground below
covering homeless tramps bundled and old
on sidewalks shivering with freezing cold
some luckless beggars sleep on parks' benches
forever trapped by penniless fences
a handful few will not survive till dawn
not even when the final ice is gone
very sad
