David Harris: Reflection- Eric Thomas

He will never achieve fame
People can walk by in vain
And this is a shame
That he feels this pain
He is just another human being
And all he wants to do is eat
Why aren't we seeing?
What would we do if we were in his seat
Would be enjoy being ragged and dirty
If we were only thirty
Could we be able to cope
And had no hope
This is the huge stress
But this is how you feel when you are faced with homelessness
- Eric Thomas

On any given night there are 3 million homeless American. Homeless Americans come from all races and religions. Hose was an immigrant from Mexico he fled the country to escape the rule of the president and wanted to have a better life in America. Hose is homeless because his boss fired him it caused him to loose his job and his self esteem.
Frank came to America from Ireland, Frank loved to cook, play soccer, and to chill with friends. Frank came to America for better life, however, found himself homeless
James grew up in Washington where he was a successful young man. So successful that he earned a green Barret in the armed forces. But after turning to drugs and alcohol for 20 years he found himself homeless without friends family and food.
Derek was 19 years old, he had a kid found himself in trouble and then homeless. Homelessness is is like death it can happen any where, anytime and to anyone. It does not discriminate.
