I Hate..

I hate the way they gawk,
As they pass me with their pompous walk.
I hate the way the say "no time",
When all I wanted was a dime.

I hate the way they cringe at me
As I sit here without glee
I hate the way, when im close to death, they walk away
When all I needed was a place to stay

I hate the way they only now stop
Once my heart will never again hop
And I hate the way they carry on
Just as if I wasnt gone.


Any response good or bad would be helpful.

Tnx,

Myke

Hello Myke, and welcome to Passions.  I could sense the frustration in your words and unfortunately too many people don't seem to see anything outside their own little world.  More people need to look around and show more respect to others.

Take care......Sue

I see you frustration in the poem, myke.

Would it be considered criticism to point out you misspelled the title?

Hello, and welcome. Don't know if you are writing about yourself, or another. But I think you captured the pain of the homeless, regardless of why they are in that condition.
I think that is the sign of a good poem to cause others to think or feel.
If that is true, then you did.

Warmly,
Pat

Welcome to Passions Myke.

There are no critics of the work of poets,
there are teachers and students. I myself hope to always be a good student...
I hear anger and also frustration, and yet somehow this piece speaks of another, not necessarily the author. There is much apathy in the world. Poetry is like life...living and breathing.  You capture the emotions well.
All good thoughts, and join us often.

Hi, Myke. Welcome to this wonderful "family of friends" at Passions In Poetry. I'm sure that you will like it here. You sound like a compassionate person, and this "family" is full of them. Everyone here is so sweet and kind. It's a shame that more of the people in the world aren't like the people here. I haven't been here even a month, yet, but I really do love it here. I hope that everyone makes you feel as welcome as they have me. I'm sure they will. Thanks for sharing your poem.


Love To All,
Ethel
