My fallen bridges

My eyes always pour tears

When I see my homeless suffering

Getting attacked in dark alleys

Doing things for money

Attacked by police on the daily

Sitting until 7 o’clock

Food trucks to be fed

Scared to open a tent I might see my homeless dead

The rats will get you and have you for a feast

Housing is a human right

No vans checking on you in the streets

Shelter vans barely want to give out water

But with the mayoral election coming

Ya’ll push us to vote

Now, read my thoughts

Don’t leave me in suspense

Shout out to my family at Street Sense

So let my ink flow through my fallen bridges

Hurry up and house us

So I can put food in my fridges
