No Man's Land...

Never say never...

at night by the fire, melancholy looms
society's outcasts bathed in gloom
biding their time, scavenging for food
death is no stranger, he'll greet them soon
someone's family, father, mother or child
they huddle together, trying to stay alive
some say they're vagrants, quickly look away
other's have sympathy, will help for today
tale's are spun, about cracks in societies walls
other's declare with pride, how they wouldn't conform
near and far, from all walks of life
some share and care, other's drink and fight
fighting for sanity, fighting to survive
no day is stable, everyday has strive
wonder, they do...
why they get cast aside
eye's filled with hate
they are so despised
seldom if ever
are their stories told
most could care less
stomach's full and warm
nothing is promised
when it comes to our fate
no guarantees,  penned in ink
when you need a hand
never forget
alone you could stand
wasting your life
in no man's land...

Sounds like a desolate, brutal place ... something like where I have lived ! I too agree with Kate.

There is too many of them that have fallen into society's cracks. Where is the help for these people? Yes, I know there are some of them that don't want help, they want something given to them, but there are many out there that would be willing to help themselves if they were given the opportunity. We live in a 1,2,3 world that if there is anything other than what's written in the rules, we can't help you. Your problem doesn't meet our criteria. The only criteria they should have to meet is the fact that it's 20 degrees outside and they have no roof over their heads.
Ok I'll shut up now. Good write Zenith. Lisa

A lesson few learn before they are out in the cold. The most helpful people I know are the ones that have been there. Great write.

"No Man's Land" comes with a profound and inspiring message.

I have enjoyed and learned from an oustanding poetical prose.
