The Shanty
Copyrighted 16. 03. 2005 Author: Barb Walker

Have you ever
Been homeless,
With no place
of your own;
Just,
A tumble weed,
Blowing
Through town?
Look,
At this shanty;
The only place
I've known;
With
A beautiful view ,
But
A very cold home.

On the one hand;
Freedom;
Come and go
As I please
But on the other;
Loneliness;
That noone
Can ease.
