– I Understand –

I understand the Homeless Man
Confusion in his eyes
Tries to survive the best he can
There is sorrow, in his sigh

Life dealt him a deck of cards
With no Kings, Queens or pairs
Day to day life is really hard
Especially when nobody cares

He tried to reach a peaceful state
Accidental over-medicate
Cannot shake a dark affliction
Desperation leads to drug addiction

Society, it makes no sense
Within a foggy mind
A victim of poor circumstance
Let’s find a reason to be kind

I don’t always understand the good Lord’s plan
But I understand the homeless man
