A White Lady

There was a White Lady from the South
Couldn't keep the wolf from the door, lived hand to mouth
Ended up on the street
Without anything to eat
And never a know
About where she would go
Shelters she's tried, shakes her head
Would rather 'die on the street' instead
Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, no substance abuse
Besides not managing life's swings has nothing to excuse
Now her already insecure situation
A vulnerable woman threatening those who maintained their station
Exacerbated by an inability
To not be considered a liability
And the affirmation true
If you can't afford it, this City doesn't care about you
