Society's Invisible People

Listen to poem:
She sat on the pavement as the world walked by She's just another vagrant not a mum a daughter or wife Claiming state benefits and living the high life ? Sat on the pavement , a discharged mental patient . She sat on a park bench as the world walked by The office she once managed on the skyline A bottle of cheap merlot gripped in her hand sat on the park bench, just another alcoholic hitting the wine She's sat in the squat, drug syringe in hand with a twinge of regret she injects her right arm as the cries of her baby can be heard in a far of room Sat in her squat, just a drug addict hitting the highs. invisible people all need to be helped A simple good morning is all that it takes a free coffee a sandwich or even a pound they are people with feeling, lets give them a hand . 26042016 comp entry the invisible people I think of are real,just ignored by society and left to drown in their addictions COMP ENTRY 24042016
