Left on the roadside Bleeding and tired. No one to help me They think I'm drunk. I have been beaten And most of my bones Have been broken. Won't someone help me? I cry, but it is in vain. They laugh at my plight A druken beggar they think Get out of their sight. Soon a lady saw my pain And stooped over to help me. She raised me from the ground And sat me on a chair. O good lady, I thank you so much. I have been beaten and all roughed up. But you took pity and sat me down. How can I repay you for you kindness today?

Very effective deliverance, George. "And most of my bones/Have been broken." That deals a literary blow to the eyes and understanding. "Won't someone help me?" is a haunting plea that for me automatically brings to mind how less and less humanity cares to become involved....Just those four words of yours, in a question. This poem lays out despair and appreciation in mankind. Well-written, George. ~~ Diana

Poem is true to form. I have relatives that will leave ya out in the cold. They are too busy to be bothered with life beyond the dollar.
Sad but true...

All the best to you,

Your poem has such superior sensitivity, oh yes we're all on the journey together.
I just hope this is not auto-biographical!
Many Blessings,

Even the Samaritans, heathen though they are, can do good.

Picked up an old bum once walking by the side of the road with a paper bag. Turned out he was an Indian who had a colorful background including playing in American movies. I dropped him and his lunch (in the paper bag) at the �Indian Doings� (a rodeo) that he kindly invited me to near Medicine Hat, Alberta. I'm sorry that I had to miss that opportunity and continued on my way.
