You can see him an invisible man Peter Daim is his name He is weathered and gray An invisible man but you can see him An invisible man No one accepts him But everyone knows him Poor, dirty and unshaved Everything he owns he has in a plastic bag His precious treasures He's an invisible man but you can see him Under the bridge where the shadows are he sleeps at night Invisible and just him alone Peter Daim has no coins He lives of our food that we throw What we call garbage Everyone sees him go hungry and thirsty We turn around Because he is an invisible man 06.05.2016 - Sun :) - Anne-Lise Andresen - Copyright © All Rights Reserved

WoW! There he is. I think I would take him to a shelter and see if I could get him some clean clothes, a bath and a good meal with a warm place to sleep. Even if I have to pay from my own pocket. Many of these people are veterans and should have better. Great job. A seven from me. Love the pic. JB

We have a Peter Daim, his name is Bill. But we see him and when he needs food we, the community feed him. He's a talented musician, such a shame to see the talent he has go to waste. As for the poem Anne-Llise, it was a beautiful piece of writing.

You did a good poem on the invisible theme, Anne-Lise. We can picture this man that we have all seen at one time or other.

Great write Sunshine. These poor ones become "invisible" because we refuse to "see" them. Rather, we see right "through" them.

How many "invisible" men are around the world one cannot say. One thing is certain thought that the turn of events could make one "Invisible" overnight! A fantastic writing with an ethical overtone that we had better not to ignore! A seven dear Anne-Lise! Hugs

Sunshine, anyone that doesn't know or hasn't seen a "Peter Daim" doesn't live on planet Earth! You've written a real eye opener for all who thought that their eyes were already open! Anyone who reads this will now forever "see" the Peter Daims! A sad but much needed write!
