Poem Artwork

Anonymous faces
Stare at me
Then go home
To their TV
This cold bench
Is where I stay
Wonder if I'm
In the way
Hunger ravaging
Deep in my gut
Infection in
A ragged cut
Only coldness
All around
Lonely makes
The loudest sound

***********************

Anonymous faces
Rush on by
Not seeing the
Tears I cry
The pain of living
Is too much
I ache for one
Tender touch
Every day is
Always the same
Playing the
Survival game
Walking these old
Streets alone
Hope and happiness
Are long gone

***********************

Anonymous faces
They don't care
Smell of chicken
In the air
The world is swiftly
Moving on
I'm standing still
Existing alone
No bed to sleep in
But a cold ground
Nothing to eat
But some scraps I found
I don't own much
Just the clothes on my back
A lifetime of living
In a paper sack

(C) Linda Hill

Linda this is a fantastic perspective for the homeless. You know Americans spend more money on their pet's than they do on the homeless. Your words are a great reminder to all of us people that call themselves Christians but forget easily on how to play the part. Thank you for this great repost. Tim

So heart breaking Linda as we realize thre are so many out there homeless and can't help it, shame on those who are out there because they didn't like the rules at home. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

This one hits close to home: was there, once. Don't want to be there, again. Not far from it now - but by the Grace of God ... well penned, Linda.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

The stark reality of the homeless is captured so vividly in this write that if it were sent to each one of our politicians I think it may just make a difference in the laws they pass or fail to pass to help these people. Thank you for bringing things into perspective with this strong voice Linda...
