A Vagabond

Dirty, tatterdemalion in appearance
He's clothed in worn-out raiment, his hair unkempt;
Perambulating through concrete jungles with...

                                       No place to call home.

He carries his entire life in his backpack.
No money to spend; hunger pangs relentless.
On the move from shelter to shelter, he has...

                                       No place to call home

He's but a man the rest of the world forgot;
Loneliness written in his sickly sad eyes.
It's so harsh life devoid of creature comforts;

                                        No place to call home.

No place to call home--He's but a man the rest of the world forgot---so sad! A poignant write well delivered, Edward.
