The problem with homelessness....
Who is this man? Standing here in this filthy alley of despair. Dirty cloths Matted beard Weathered skin Empty eyes. Lives in the street No place to rest.. No money to eat… Part of a nonexistent world.. No one remembers.. Who he is.. Who he was.. Not always worthless.. Not a lost cause.. A victim of circumstance in this cavernous world.. Sucked into societies vacuum of hopelessness.. Desperation.. No longer part of the human population… Now less than an Animal.. Criminal.. There is no help… Nothing more than a rope of thread.. To help him climb out of Endlessness. Homelessness Looking through a tired haze.. Transparent in his nonexistence.. In another world.. Brain starved.. For nourishment.. Acceptance Humanity.. He walks on Searching for his thread of hope.. Praying to one day be reunited.. With his aspirations.. With who he was.. With who he can be.. Holding on for the duration.. Once again part of the population.
