The Known & The Unknown

They sit, and They beg 
with Dark and Gloomy eyes 

Waiting... 
Wondering... 

As they let out their tears. 

People Look 
People Laugh 

And People just walk away. 

They Sit, and They Beg 
with Dark and Gloomy eyes.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]

The returning opening lines give the poem a haunting circular form, while the brief, isolated phrases sharpen its emotional impact. The contrast between suffering and passing indifference offers a poignant reflection on humanity and those left unseen.
