Homeless
Keep off the streets!
Stay home!
This is home.
Government must ensure
- Sign up for Aliran's free daily email updates or weekly newsletters or both
- Make a one-off donation to Persatuan Aliran Kesedaran Negara, CIMB a/c 8004240948
- Make a pledge or schedule an auto donation to Aliran every month or every quarter
- Become an Aliran member
Basic human need of shelter.
‘Tis an emergency riptide
Allow caring NGOs to provide
Essential services, sanitation, water, food
Stimulus package include.
Like makeshift hospitals, shelters makeshift,
Or else, sky’s the roof
Corpses on the streets.
Control disordered
Pandemic uncontained.
In Covid’s roving eye of the storm
No fair weather anywhere
For the wrecked, marooned – welfare
Take an opportune lesson,
A learning curve,
Least they deserve
Eradication of homelessness.
