CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL FOR DINNER

Used and abused beer can on a park bench
Lets out a pungent smell and starting to stench
Discarded cigarette butts were also there too
Who did they belong to I haven't a clue

A little further ahead I notice a cardboard box
Fastened down to the ground with secure locks
Looks to me someone slept there last night
The tatty blanket inside surely that's not right

I get to the point of my destination shaking my head
Cigarettes and alcohol for dinner and a box for a bed
Just another homeless person in another town or city
Where they are ignored and shown no respect or pity
