\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Existence Of The Others<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The walking man looks like a bag of bones.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He wanders along alone without a home.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He never knows where his next meal is.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t put your blame on him for this.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Circumstances were beyond his control.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What brought them on, he didn\u2019t know?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He once was a lot like you are now.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Earning a living by the sweat of his brow. <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, he doesn\u2019t live, he just exists.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He is beyond being mad and having fits.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His focus is strictly on what\u2019s to come.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Where is his next meal coming from.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

True, the poor will always be with us.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Society rejecting them can make you cuss.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s little help. They have stopped trying.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There is no motivation. I\u2019m not lying.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is an existence hard to comprehend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

For them, they have reached the very end.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You could say they are waiting for God.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all that is left. This is not odd.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What else to do if they were you?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There must be something we can do?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The answer is a curse to society.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Unsolvable, probably do to our piety.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

At the least, we can all pray for them.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Treat them like they were our kin.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They are already down and out.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In a zombie land, without a doubt.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

An hour, a day, a year to them,<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

is just the passing of a blur within.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The high points being a decent meal.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Little is said about how they feel.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Except for the grace of God, go you.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Can you see what they are going through?<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
