Hunger
I sit watch want to weep
seeing you sitting on the street
with cane made of wood
hand carved not very good
a banged up sign in hand
sitting unable to stand
cars just pass you by
my heart wants to cry
no one worrying how you fare
a world that does not care
two cigarettes in a empty hat
hair tangled in a mat
you sit wish me well
as you sit for a spell
a homeless man down on his luck
hoping to get even a buck
i took him coffee wished him well
he was grateful I could tell.
