The Person On the Corner
The Person On The Corner
Author Dana Redricks

They look as if she wasn’t there
She’s somebodies mother, she’s
Somebodies child; she was laid off
She may have made some wrong choices
A victim of illness, she cries, but no one
Hears her voice; she is a victim of her
Circumstance.
Her child is hungry, and cold as she
Stares into the tears of her mothers eyes.
Her Mothers heart is hurting, because she
Can’t supply her child’s needs; while the
World is filled with greed, while people
Struggle to supply their family’s needs.
The truth is we are all one pay check, one choice,
And sick day from being that person on
The corner.
