The Bus Stop In La

Waiting for the bus at a bus stop in LA Sitting next to this guy who is clearly insane Obviously homeless by the dirt on his face But what problem came first his life now or The condition of his brain Could this all of been prevented if someone just knew His pain Was it a doctor lack of care that's truly to blame This has torn me up inside it could happen to anyone just the same All it would take is a situation that could cause an everlasting change I'm sure he once had family that would be full with Shame Feeling crazy themselves with no solution for his ways I don't want to be that person who's lost miserable and mentally going away Who people just think is a lost cause and not worth the waste Where all it possibly would've took to save Was medication and treatment to end his terror reign But instead he's just another person who is insane And I sit next to some homeless guy at a bus stop in LA
