Have you seen the old man in the closed down market
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hand held loosely by his side,
yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news

How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talkin,
she just keeps right on walkin
Carryin her home in two carrier bags

How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

In the all night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone

How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man outside the seaman's mission
Memory's fading like the ribbons that he wears
In our winter city,
the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care

How can you tell me you're lonely
And say, for you, that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind

Consider how many middle class people became homeless during the 2008 mortgage crisis, and what a trauma it was when successful people became "street bums" in a matter of months. Your entire life's work snapped up by banks leaving you with just the clothes on your back.

The #Heat #Crisis Is a #Housing Crisis

"Humble told me that we talk about how sharply smoking increases lung cancer risks, up to 3,000 percent according to #government statistics. But, he added, “being #homeless increases your chance of dying from heat in Phoenix by 50,000 percent.”

I was just in a meeting with NoQ, a Swedish organization that aims to help #homeless people find shelter for the night. The sad truth about #Sweden is that #neoliberalism has destroyed (and is destroying) parts of our social services and care for each other, and is creating a #caste system. But people aren't talking about it because the #narratives is to a large extent controlled by the mainstream/corporate #media

NoQ: Hjälp hemlösa - En IT-Lösning för Hemlöshet - noQ

noQ är en ideell organisation som hjälper hemlösa genom innovativa IT-lösningar. Vårt mål är att akut hemlösa i Stockholm ska kunna hitta sovplats.

In many areas it also means you can't vote because you can't prove what precinct or district you're a resident of.
