The Homeless Man

Shoeless feet covered in oozing wounds
Body sunburned by the unforgiving sun
A man too weak to stand
Sits cross-legged on the burning sidewalk
No home to run to
No wife to embrace
No life; what seems like no meaning
In his hand an empty cup in need of spare change
Careless People hurry by
Avoiding any contact with such failure
After he achieves modicum of coins
He helplessly wanders the streets
Homeless the man pursues a savior
Someone to offer him safe haven
Nevertheless he has found no one...

So many people in the world are left to be that way. Its sad, and true. I hate when I see homeless people, yet some could do something, and others. No.! Very thought out write, and saddening.

Excellent write, friend.
