A Secret Society

Homeless.. derelictes from the Choosing Sides Collection

 

 

It’s like a secret society,

a private club,

but for their city,

they don’t offer much,

and for the human race,

they’re way out of touch,

these derelicts huddled and conferred,

almost trained

if it weren’t insane,

always having, but want more,

as they wait for their next score,

some drunks, some thieves, and some w****s,

they smirk and grunt,

begging for coins as they dance for tips,

others with booze,

passing the bag and taking sips,

never winning, but never prepared to lose,

they could have made a fortune,

if they choose,

with all their scams, schemes,

but it was the addictions that blocked their dreams.
