We children of the night
Naked trees,
Blackness of night.
Ghostly appearances,
Midnight Flight;
Invisible child of the night
Bird less skies,
Stillness of night,
Chilling cold,
Midwinter’s plight;
Cold child of the night
Icy sidewalk,
Steel-gray lamp post,
Cold light,
Swallowed up by the night.
Lost child of the night
Shadow less persons,
Strung-up and all about
Hideous unhidden faces
Overpowering frowns
Frighten child at the night
Crowded emptiness
Amidst the
Three A.M. gold rush
We children of the night
MISFITS

homeless children should not exist in any country any place. homeless adults are enough to break hearts, children are too much to bear.
if only governments cared a little bit for them.
