The
Homeless Explosion
The
moratorium is over
The
payments coming due
And lives
once lived in shelter
Will soon
be tossed askew
A global
pandemic
An
exposition of police violence
A demand
for racial justice
Mass protests
on the streets
And now a
homeless explosion
What
heartless landlords
Could toss
tenants to the streets
In times
such as these?
What
heartless mindless government
Could
allow such a thing?
The same
landlords who jacked up rent
During the
great recession
The same
government that fought
Harder
against masks
Than it
did against the virus
The same
government that swore
It would
all vanish in the spring
Like a bad
dream
The
homeless explosion is coming
And the
virus is still here
Waiting
for the huddled masses
To breathe
the toxic air
