Faces

Faces
-:-
The thing about faces is they can say 
a lot more than just words
some like the guy on left his must 
be full of happy memories, he seems 
at peace with himself, with some happy
thoughts maybe something or one of the past.  

The man in the middle seems to be mad 
at the entire world and all that is around it;
heck he might even be mad at himself also
but the anger is eating him up both inside and out,
yelling at people to get the hell out of his way!

The last guy, seems to have seen it all, 
by that I mean he most likely is a homeless Veteran;
he has seen things that no man should have ever seen,
that is why he has that faraway look in his eyes,
just trying to find a place to be able to call home.
Yes, you can tell you a lot about faces, 
if just you take the time to look.
