God only knows that could be me bottle in hand face down in the street he's been branded by society no doubt an outcast in this age of throw-away things but no one knows his pain why must the drunkard suffer for so long a survivor in a world gone wrong why is he held in such contempt and not shown a lttle mercy skid row, skid row it's the only home he knows gone are his hopes and long forgotten dreams left to die there so it seems There must be a poem in here somewhere. |

Yes your compassion really comes through here.The hard part about compassion is that try as we might we can't always save those that are intent on self distruction. I like that you challenge mainstream attitudes. Lori |

Ah, but I imagine he has been shown mercy, Faith. Some people do not respond to mercy, they use it for their benefit. Some cannot be helped. ~ Never did I feel more devoted to my wife than after biting the wild garlic of treachery ~ |
