How dare you!

Looking at me sitting on the earth
yesterdays rags is what I deserve
watching as you go by
its you I see with my sharp eye
what do you expect me to do
why do you think I need all of them
what dreams should I have
do you need me to share them with you?
Its not their mouths but minds that pry
sitting here I needn’t be, walking by it’s you who must
for I can travel in the wind like dust
its you who has the introverted lust
living for fame and payment by coin
hey it’s my bed you walk on
the duvet I use, yes their old news
least I wake at sunrise
who’s soul do you see when you look at me?
What eye do you use as you walk by
and you think you are privileged keeping the man at bay?
So you think your god is saving you before I?

    extraordinary and very powerful! A terrible commentary on our times – but then in every age and time it’s been this way unfortunately.

  • dogfish replied

    hey lianne, you are correct and I don’t think it will change in time to come. crazy but some people actually choose it as a way of life

    It’s good to have both sides of the tale – I used to work with the homeless and yours and Jen’s both touched a nerve. At least you haven’t walked by, have you? You’ve seen them.

  • dogfish replied

    hell yes! seen them, been them!
    but it doesn’t make it any easier when you actually know them, and they refuse any kind of help due to “pride!”
