I know a man with the courage to live with no legs nor arms; he can't even crawl. And begs for coins, folks aren't willing to give, plopped in the street like a broken doll. Hardened hearts walk by with barely a glance or accost him with sarcastic remarks. But garnering pity's his only chance and so, he sifts the darkness, seeking sparks. A quadriplegic, he is immobile and treated like a fractured Frankenstein. And yet, he attracts angles with his smile, connecting with hearts that are genuine. I can't imagine myself in his place, or even fathom what he has to face. 06,14,2019 Move me Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Richard Lamoureux
