I saw eyes stare and scold with no remorse|
Passing by making assumptions|
Disdained prejudgments|
Looking the other way|
Never behind the page|
They only skim|
Never in search|
The details they skip|
Un-highlighted and overlooked|
Can't bear to stare into the eyes crying out|
overflowing with tears|
They shun without questions|
Not knowing the events that led to their present|
To make them feel better they laugh and they mock|
And spit on the streets they walk|
That's their home!|
The world forgot and left them with no hope|
They pray to the sky hoping for light|
It gets cold at night|
Though not as cold as their hearts|

It made me cry to read this. I have seen homeless people and I know a lot of people do laugh and make fun of them. Did you know they even get murdered?
ReplyDeleteI see it too often when I go past washington d.c. its what inspired me to write this. Its sad that some would even go as far enough to kill them.
