Home, lesson a bench

Home is where the heart can rest and help the mind unwind from stress
Hungry licking lips smacking bitter sweet defeat when infants born passionate a bliss
But home lesson a bench I learned life's more concerning then loving falls inside a chest
The winters cold can blister toes of those to cold to sit
But the ones to numb to move and feel the freezing breeze
The least they'll lose is laundry dragged in luggage bags on concrete streets
Each lung collapsed the last breath passes as their life is flashing back
But it's not the only struggle when your huddled spanging change for bitter meals every day
The drugged up mugs they can't conceal sinking deeper down a cheaper deal
When your faced with hunger games of stomach pains and aches from night to day
The better bargains banging crystal crushed through the nose of needles killing hunger for a couple days
Sure they come down after a 3rd day rage that follows fiends who cry for a fix to keep from getting sick
But it's that or lose yourself in appetite wondering if it's even worth the fight
