"family"by William Ramos

I have a brother, <BR>I have a sister, <BR>I have a father, a mother, <BR>I hardly have a family. <BR><BR>I know you’re my friend <BR>And that standing stranger <BR>And that beggar over there <BR>They know me very well. <BR><BR>I have a house with the roofs <BR>Yet I live here with you <BR>My house has too many walls <BR>With you, the streets our world. <BR><BR>I have cousins so many <BR>Can trace my family tree <BR>Yet no one’s there to call <BR>Nobody knows me at all. <BR><BR>I maybe destitute than poor <BR>I am a pauper in spirit <BR>Amongst the things I owned <BR>It’s with you I found my home. <BR><BR><BR>June 05, 2001
