To Their Fellow Man

You can see their breath upon the air
As people bustle by without a care
 
The homeless don’t even get a single  glance
No care for thier circumstance

your small change it means alot 
to you the cost of a bottle of pop

to a person on the street
it will mean they will be able to eat 
 
A simple greeting  does not cost
 some peoples souls need a good defrost

A roof above my head to sleep
A bed where i can fall asleep
 
and some food upon my plate to eat
and a friend  who will not browbeat
 
A friendly face a little smile
and people who  don’t judge my lifestyle
 
Being homeless is not a crime
yet people judge you all the time
 
my place of birth, the way I speak
does not make me some sort of freak
 
a helping hand and being kind
should define all mankind
 
designer suits don’t define a man
but the kindness shown in their lifespan

To their fellow man
