is he homeless or on a mental health hunger strike? is she homeless or addicted to feeling more than her existence? is he homeless or a veteran that fought an unrequired war? is she homeless or a forgotten child from a long line of abusers? is he homeless or an item thrown away from within a pyramid scheme? is she homeless or someone kicked out of her home because she can't decide whose mouth she's going to feed? is he homeless or looking for God amongst us? is she homeless or trying to keep herself together?
we only know they're homeless and that's good enough for most of us.
behind all of our appearances lie an unimaginable amount of unheard stories. they've been told, but people, en masse, refuse to listen; or at least refuse to act. be kind to all. show them love like you would your valued tribesman. it's amazing what only a little love can do.
