Homeless Man

He waits by the fire But he cannot get warm He sleeps outdoors With the mangy dogs And loose women of the night Who've fallen off the radar. The shelter won't let him in He too crazy And his family don't care He wants a bus pass to the skies Though he compromises and dies

'He awaits by the fire but cannot get warm' - a wonderful irony which underlines the very predicament of the homeless man. Thank you, Rodney for the lovely piece. Welcome to Poetrysoup!
