the homeless man
« on: March 06, 2011, 06:06:26 AM »
a tribute to the homeless in Chicago
-written during 'off' hours in the hospital, February 2011

==


sitting by the bridge on the corner of North Broadway idle
waiting, asking, begging,
pennies, quarters, nickle and dime
do you have some ?

hundreds of cars, presuming eyes with condescension
all for the sake of a dollar here and a dollar there
please help me, please help a needy soul
the request comes on deaf ears

the cold air surrounding deafens the frustration
where will i sleep tonight
by the street, by the shelter, by the rundown buildings
on North Halstead , on West Montrose Avenue, somewhere quiet

life is hard, life is merciless, life is a struggle
for the homeless.
will you help?
