Drifting aimlessly.
Scavenging in rubble shamelessly.
Some because they have no choice.
With no reason to rejoice.
Others just want to be alone.
For a pillow use a stone.
A bush for shelter.
Neither have a protector.
This must be a harsh existence.
They endure resistance.
Yes we in society.
That think we are so high and mighty.
We look down on the humble beggar.
Only worrying about our ledger.
Leaving him to fend off the hardship.
And we have a bountiful harvest.
Is this what man has become?
That we're too selfish to offer a crumb.

Rus: Drifting or adrift? Cut lose from the tethers that keep us safe and valued. Someone has let go their hand.
Were we on the ocean and they floated by, we would throw them a lifeline without hesitation. feed dry and warm them, and ask what happened. But afloat in our midst, they seem to be at less peril.
In sheer numbers, if only half of us helped one person, the streets would be empty tomorrow.
Thank you for resounding the message. You give us reason to hope.

True story
helping others when u can
is what we all need to do
because
we all know how it is to be caught
in the drift....... |
