Thank you both for your comments! Greatly appreciated!!
When I'm not writing or making music I work for a homeless charity here in B'ham called Crisis - I teach percussion, & technical theatre, life skills, &  build confidence. 'My boys'  humble me on a daily basis - this is my tribute to them based on their stories. Homelessness is an increasing problem - most of my chaps aren't addicts (although some are) they are educated, intelligent, amazing men who fell through the gaps in the system & are viewed by a lot of people as scum.

You have captured well the attitudes of some people to a certain section of humanity who are looked down on by the rest, because of the way they appear and present themselves, because they are different. I like the way you have repeated the opening line of each stanza. Nice one Vicky

Very good - and a poke at our conscience!
