the man in the doorway

the man in the doorway

You see the person on the street 
Sadly looking for things to eat 
Having to route around in bins 
No one deserves that 
Whatever they're sins 
You see that person on their own 
No one to talk to to hear their moan 
Looking so cold longing to be warm 
Looking so damp from that storm 
Homelessness is awful 
And it's growing all the time 
A hurrendous cycle 
That often ends in crime 
If you have a warm house 
Then thank your lucky stars 
Not everyone has luxuries 
Like heating food and cars 
Don't just laugh and call them tramps 
Who are we to diss 
We don't know Their story 
Ignorance is bliss

Hi Sarah people can't help their situation . You need to reach out and lend a hand and have a kind heart . I am grateful I have a roof over my head . Too many people are not grateful. A great write all stars for me :) cheers

Good write Sarah, I appreciate everything I worked hard for and I never look down on anyone, for we all come from different backgrounds and deal with life differently, some people are very misfortunate and I try to help whenever I can. Well done Allstars.
