Sometimes They Dont Come Back;

america;a white homeless man found in a ditch;by interstate 35 south and feeder road;of austin,texas;some times they really dont come back;but what if it was me;would it then;my freind;or would have to be to mean some thing with the color of my white poor dirty skin;what if i norma jay bertrand the writer4386/was ran over would you call it an accident;when i seen this man thats what texas investigators are calling it;what a coincidence;two years earlier a black women did the same in dallas and got away with it;since a mexican women hit him;says she thought it was a deer;america we have a problem then; same investigators says we walk all over the place like that;really like he dosent;like we dont exist;or blend;yet we are no different than youre only poor and no home to live in;sometimes we are only ghosts of your past by chance no one cares to help or look out for;
