Yes, life can be wrong in some of it's aspects.  A pity more can not be done to right these situations.

Reading this makes me wonder about their stories. How did they end up how they did?

So many memories you brought back with this poem. I've sat down with some around the old barrel for warmth, refused polite invitations to 'share a swig', doled out as many hugs as cigarettes...and learned so much. This is a beautiful poem - I'm printing it and keeping it, thank you.

An excellent poem, Jay. Enough there to fill a whole night with wondering.

quick edits :)

down town is one word downtown:  leave with at the end of the first sentence off:  leave i think out of the 3rd sentence or move it to the beginning of the sentence:  end the sentence there then make the next sentence "I found....."  it will tighten it up alot:  what about saying we were dishwashers....less wordy:  divide the last sentence into 2 and leave out needless to say

love the poem....really gets into how the homeless are treated....great job
