Tin Can Tragedy I saw her today, an old woman with a baby stroller dragging it behind her with it’s worn out wheels full of tin cans, to sell for just one meal her coat of wool hung with the weight of the world on shoulders too old to bare her heavy load, no one to care as cars sped past, what a tragedy today that we turn and go our merry way BloomingRose |

I thought this was a very excellent peice of writing. I felt a feeling of remorse or disdain for society being so ignorant of what they fail to do. My compliments. ~Alison~ "Close your eyes, and you'll see." |

Alison~ I saw her this morning while waiting at a traffic light. She was sad and pitiful, 50 years ago people would have noticed, maybe held out a hand to help. She could be you or me... AP~ There are things we can do in our community to help the truly homeless. I know this is not a popular subject, so I thank you for taking the time to read  |

Hi BloomingRose, It is seen every day in our society the poor and homeless and is so very sad, whats even sader still is that our goverment has the means by which to help them, but chooses not to, spending moneys on things not needed! This is a wonderful poem thank you for posting it, we all need to read ones like this to remind us of just how REAL it is. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |
