A park bench built for respite
from pleasant Sunday strolls
was never meant as bed
for life's discarded souls.

Author Notes
A naani is a 4 line poem with a total of 20-25 syllables - this one has 25. It is Indian in origin and commonly reflects on the human condition and current issues. In my town alone there is a waiting list of 80 for homeless people to get a cot in a shelter. Tent cities have sprung up in cities around the United States in the past year, but some cannot even afford camping tents.
