Everyone is Welcome Here

Drew Marshall

With affordable rents for working people disappearing
It’s no wonder The Big Apple is home
To the nation’s largest homeless population

I was checking out a book at the small community library
When I noticed the head librarian jump up from her seat
She pointed her finger at a man who was exiting the bathroom
“You were told you’re not allowed in here!”

Startled, he stared at her for a moment and quickly left
I had seen this guy sleeping in the street
Sometimes he begged for money
He had been around for years

Exasperated, the librarian dropped back into her chair
She returned to her work as I left the building

The library is in the middle of a promotional campaign
Posters are plastered all over the place declaring
Everyone Is Welcome Here

Everyone that is, except the homeless
