Do you see the man with straggly hair?
No money for food or change for fare.
His nails are black and teeth are rotten,
He knows more than you've forgotten.
He lives in a box with his sleeping bag,
A little dog and a porno mag.
The snow is coming - winter's cold,
He's got no one at all to hold.
All alone with time to think
No wonder he has turned to drink!
If you see him in the street
Give him money so he can eat.

I sit up in my little 'home' Not made of bricks, not made of wood, not even a little piece of stone. This is what I live in; A cardboard box-room enough for one.

He sits, an empty day ahead, Eyes so tired, a heavy heart. Some prayers, his thoughts within his head. Seems no one cares if this man were dead.

I sat and pondered all the hate in the world, emotions of sympathy began to swirl. Violence we share with animals all the same, makes me wonder, how a human can be called humane.

Poor
No way to live. Nor a way to die. Anything you give. Will seem like a lie. There is nowhere to flee. All they have are bags. No real cloths no money. They dress in the same old rags.
