Unbearable Homelessness

It puzzles me.

I see people with such signs everywhere.


Why is that?

I'm more puzzled by the fact that similar materials are used to write "homeless" messages. Cardboards.

And similar words. HOMELESS. Why state the obvious fact? Shouldn't we know already?


There are signs that are indications of being homeless. Shabby looks. Cart of used products. Destitute face.

In other countries I've lived in, I don't see people with such signs. Singapore fines homeless people for staying on the streets. Malaysia has homeless people on the streets walking or sitting at sheltered locations. China has homeless people that people are skeptical of. Conman beggars maybe.

Maybe one day I'll muster up the courage to ask them for the reasons behind the words written on the cardboards. Just maybe...
