[hometext] => another from my people watching event(while job hunting)...
[bodytext] => Just a wizened, weathered mobile bag of rags Shuffling, stumbling along the cold, lifeless walk Hugging close decaying dreams in ancient bags Mistakes of the past for which he'll never atone Crippled fingers clutch faded memories of before Dried tears shed borne on a matted face of hurt Once a man of light and love, that, alas, is no more A lonely being that survives among the filth and dirt Better times, they had truly enjoyed his presence Life, laughter and a bit more, they filled his days But some blight had fallen and poisoned his essence An ugly pain demanding that he pays and pays Fear me not, sad eyes cry beneath the grime He's only asking for but a moment's pause Losing his way being his only crime Cruel revulsion his visage now does cause Don't pity me, I heard him cough out I'm here 'cause I forgot to care, you see Spare me the gospel you're 'bout to spout Give me some change then let me be When the vision of that withered soul returned I couldn't even help him nor ever make it right The agony of his suffering in my heart forever burned I cried for him, late last night.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
