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
