Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

Alone

Loneliness is just an echo
That pierces thru your soul
There's no one for you to talk to
And you have no place to go

You're always filled with sorrow
Cause no one seems to care
No one wants to listen 
To the things you have to share

Like the man alone out on the street
With no place to lay his head
Newspapers for his pillow
And a park bench for his bed

Or the woman in that cardboard box
That she calls her humble home
She's lost without redemption
With no family of her own

So just take a minute to listen
And show them that you care
Cause almost anything could happen
And it could be you out there

Poet Destroyer A November 15, 2010 at 1:19 PM wow! Larry, now ain't that the truth, it can be us out there. I never like the feeling of being lonely. I try hard to share my ways with peeps,, when they feel alone or are alone. A helping hand is always needed. Believe me I have helped some in need and they are grateful, but than we have the ones who don't care,, LOL, i better stop there, sounds like a poem already,,, have a nice one,..p.d.

Akunna Olomi November 15, 2010 at 1:16 PM Thank you, Larry for relating to the plight of the homeless in the society. they did not ask for the experience, and it could be anyone of us out there lonely like them. Reasonable advice!
