He was wild and loud He’d shout and scream But hurt, never dream So the police came Man’s insane Good doctors looked Brain is cooked Give him drugs One of them shrugs And hospital bed Was finally said
Years went by Time does fly Money now needed Hospital conceded He who used to shout Cured, throw him out Tablets in hand Can’t understand Just shown the door What is in store? Pills for him sleep His sanity to keep
Pops the last one Medication gone Where to go He doesn’t know Mind in doubt Just does without As people near Sees their fear What’s he done? That him they shun Because he is alone Has no longer home
Cannot earn a keep Doorways for to sleep Many pass him by None dare meet his eye Same now every day Cardboard box in alleyway Come the drunken louts All offensive shouts Look a filthy tramp His head lets stamp Him we will burn Society has no concern
This is what society has become--we turn our sights to something more pleasant. Homelessness should be addressed by all of us as 'they' (but for the grace of God) could be 'us'. Sad poem well written.
