Cold

A poor homeless men in a winter trying to survive the cold.

I’m all alone, walking in a snow.

I have no food and hot chocolate.

I have no fire to keep myself warm,

I'm very tired from this freeze.

I started to sneeze very loudly,

This winter had gotten me very sick.

 I needed get out of this cold.

I had been out here since I was 20 years old, now I’m only 50.

Nobody here to help me,

I ask for help, they kept on ignoring me.

Every winter I tried to survive this cold.

I told them I was dying from this winter.

They still kept on ignoring me.

I started crying,

It feels like my heart slowly dying.

I lay on the snow with my eyes closed,

Dreaming of my life on the way I used to have.

I started to freeze to death on this day.

Author's Note

I think every winter or summer, some one should help out some homeless people. Even though I been attack by a homeless guy once at work, but some of them are friendly that needed more help then everyone.

Very good capture of this plague and blight on our society. We cast them aside and leave them to their own devices. Well said.

Good thing we live in Miami. That's probably why there are so many homeless people here... LOL Winter is easier on them.

My band friends did help out one guy and now he is part of there family. This was a great tribute poem to show what can happen to some when nobody cares to lend a helping hand. Very well written too!
