Forgotten

Reality of life. :(

Silently he watches, 

With tears in his little eyes.

One only needs to look 

To see the suffering that lies.

A man passes by,

Without even sparing a glance.

How can the world be so unfair? 

He believed he had a chance. 

They see him all alone,

But no one even dares.

Not a single penny spent,

He waits for anyone who cares.

With his tiny tired limbs, 

He begins to walk.

Approaching an old lady,

He began to talk:

Can I have some change madame? 

Please, a little would suffice.

To fill my hungry tummy, 

Some food would be so nice. 

The old lady as rich can be,

Pretended not to hear, 

But silently walked on instead

As the little kid shed some tears. 

And everyone did as she, 

Ignoring his existence, 

So the little boy slept so broken

Without receiving a single assistance. 

 In his slumber he went,

To a place where everything's fair.

Where he is loved as everyone else,

A place where there's no despair. 

But as the boy lived in his solace, 

Lying down peacefully in his tiny spot,

People went on with their busy lives,

And the lifeless body of the boy was still forgot.

If you're going to work on it...change "assistance"...

So the little boy slept so broken
Without receiving a single assistance.
----
Without receiving a single assistance.
Without receiving any guidance.

Ends relatively as this starts...
with no enduring conclusion...
as such is society at times...
that we must look into ourselves...
and place our lives in theirs...
only then would we have the dignity...
to feel what they feel inside...
we have enough food to feed...
each and every person on the planet...
yet we have many that still are forgotten...
I see you went with a rhyme scheme...
I believe this would go better free versed...
some lines are forced to acquire the strict form...
but as long as you are content with it...
that's all the matters...
the meaning is definitely there...

Originally it was a free verse. But it got messed up so I decided to rhyme. :)) Thanks for reading though
