I wrote this poem while I was on a mission trip in Philadelphia. I was working with Broadstreet Ministries through my church's youth group. I spent a week meeting and talking with a lot of the homeless and impoverished people there. They are people just like everyone else. I wrote this because I really connected with some of the people that I met there, and really saw how unjust the broken system was. these people were homeless because of things like injuries that they couldn't afford to take care of, or being laid off from work due to the economy. They didn't do anything wrong. But yet these people are so positive and friendly and just nice, loving people in general. So many of them love God, and seeing how they believe in him through everything is really inspirational.
