The Plight of a mother

They had no money, no home to stay safe
The streets and left over food were their only solace
At midnight, The cops rebuked and forced them to leave
Where could they return, they had no place
Woken up in a jiffy for a ridiculous emergency
Half asleep she went in search of another shade
Leaving behind her sleeping son

Unaware of the hatred the world has
In the arms of her little terrified daughter
For a long time the little girl kept awaiting but she did not return,
Alas She got up and holding the hands of her young brother
They went walking into the dark alley in hope to find her helpless mother
They lost whatever they had, the leftover food and their broken shade
The mother wept all night losing all hope
whom could she blame, the cops, the government, or herself
The little boy wiped her tear and held her tight

Her children gave her hope and a reason to try
They gave her what the world snatched and chose to deny
