Homeless

Walking by a cardboard shelter
you hear a quiet plea
bothered and in a rush, you ignore him
and continue walking
He's homeless & continues searching the floor for scraps
He's helpless & continues searching the sky for hopes
Sure he might take your coins
to buy drugs and alcohol
...but only if it numbs the pain
...and if only for a second
He didn't chose this life
I'm sure you've made mistakes too
But it's too late to change it now
he's too far to go back anyhow
While you worry about rush hour traffic
he worries about surviving the night
and while you cry over a spill on your new suit
he cries when thinking about his family
...his father who passed away
...his alcoholic mother who disowned him long ago
His lonely eyes fill with tears
as the heroin addiction takes hold once again
One thing you both have in common
you both have one life to live
......
no where to turn
no way to go back
no one to love
nothing to hope for
......One Life
