alone and abandoned in the dark
Like living in tunnel, without light to reach
his hand out looking for someone to take it
To lead him outside and see the light
He feel darkness which he couldn't see
The pain of his brothers running through him
Just like him in darkness they set
Hoping for help that will never show
They are Alone and abandoned in the dark
Mother, he couldn't hear your voice yesterday
Lover, he couldn't feel your love today
Friend, he won't feel your presence tomorrow
Alone and abandoned like an orphan
With no land to call home
Left alone with no sense of belonging
Soon his time will come to fade in nothing
Nobody will claim his body
and no one will attend his funeral
broken by the world, like a wounded wolf
fierce before, he is vulnerable now
Soon other to feast on his heart
Alone and abandoned that he is
Left alone by his loved ones
In the street he found his shelter at night
Under bridge to cover from rain
In the trash can for one good meal
Half naked, another half in strings
fly is the friend, the stray dog is security
The moths drawn to light pole are his theater
but the birds will sing for you at morning

Without Home
PoetrySo many homeless people we come across everyday, but we never really understand how they feel. I hope by writing this poem at least I've shown a little bit of how they feel.
