at the end of a rope
that society designed
couldn’t match the requirements
which it demands
laying in wait for a handout
that won’t cover rehabilitation
suffering on the streets
in garb not fit for a king
we allow this despair
watch it unfold
do nothing to stop it
and look appalled at the sight
of a human laying
sacrificed for the rest
walking on by
ignoring his despair
shame on a society which allows this to exist

Such an Awesome post!! I love it when you get up on a soapbox and let it Rip, My Dear!! Seems not many Christians and others appreciate the words in the Bible about the The Sheep And The Goats!! Or “When You Do It Unto One Of The Least Of These, My Brethren, You Have Done It Unto Me!!” Bellissimo, Susi, Bellissimo!!

Heart breaking, but that means nothing if I can do nothing to help.

As long as you address it when you run into, that is more than most would do.

those that stare
don’t know despair
until they have walked
in another’s shoes
shame on a society which allows this to exist
