Man holding paycheck with nowhere to go<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The dawn\u2019s early light 
Tells of a downward plight 
Or the perilous fight 
Nearly fifty percent 
  
Land of the free 
Home of the brave  
Depraved of housing 
A basic human need 
 
Nearly fifty percent 
Work for mere cents 
Either part time or full time 
Heavy bombs on descent 
 
Unhoused, homeless, no roof 
Paycheck in hand is no proof 
Proof of simple liberties 
Nearly fifty percent 
 
Show up every day to work 
With income, not enough 
To secure a dwelling 
Prices ever going up 
 
Nearly fifty percent 
No place to call home 
Across the U S of A 
Shall free men stand 
Be free in this land? 
 
In God we trust 
Always a must 
Walk by faith 
But not by sight 
 
Nearly fifty percent 
Not of unemployment 
But homelessness 
 
Nearly fifty percent <\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
