Homeless: Caravan Of Hope

They have no home other than the endless road

They know no life other than the restless journey

They have no friends other than the nomadic clan

They know no trade other than the merchants' way

Pre-dawn sees them strung out across the urban desert

Gathering disparate goods for use and barter and sale

Blending effortlessly into their surroundings, their passing goes unnoticed

Except by alert street guards who bark their respectful acknowledgement

These are the masters of survival, living off the land

These are the teachers of solidarity, sticking by their kin

These are the genii of commerce, finding value in everything

These are the scholars of philosophy, knowing life's worth

Oh, caravan of hope, may you discover oases on your parched trail

May you reap rich rewards from your creative enterprise

And may you one day lay aside your weary trolley load

And wonder no more about the life of the unwanted wanderer
