Blinded eyes
BLINDED EYESΒ
Blinded eyes on healthy brick.Β
Above spring flowers singing new life.Β
Whilst down the road the old man walks,Β
with his sleeping bag and ragged coat.Β
Looking for a place to sleepΒ
in this world that so mocks hope.Β

even in my hometown which is not a big city there are the homeless around. It is so sad to see them begging for money. I wish I could do more but there just isn't a big enough wallet to support them all. lovely melancholy in Nigel I look forward to reading more from you soon
Thank you Lisa. My town is thought of as a "rich" area and the boarded up windows are council owned and intended to be social housing. The land they sit on is obviously worth more than the lives of the homeless.Β
The combination of your picture choice and words is a very strong message about the contradictions of what is important in society. Strong, punchy, thought provoking stuff.
Everyone feels sorry for
the homeless.
The windows are still boarded.Β
The homeless are still on the street.Β

Your words convey so much more Nigel..
I do hope you are keeping well in all the madness currently happening. DD X
