A homeless man in the corner, Another on the street, A woman and her children sleeping by a door. I see them every day, I see them through jaded eyes, Because society’s taught me this way. I want to do something for them, I want them to be helped, But I can’t just do it alone and on a whim. Will you help me? Will you contribute? Will you make for them a place to sleep? I want to, I wonder what stops me. Maybe society has to want to help, too. A homeless man in the corner, Another on the street, A woman and her children sleeping by the door. Rachael |

rachael, i feel your desire to do what our minds tell us not to do...alas, it is easier to avert our eyes than to lend a hand...and as you say, "society has taught" us all "this way" and so it will continue...good write about a subject folks would rather not talk about...we all need this kind of write... |
