Bundle of rags

@sue2 Said

Huddled in the drafty doorway
frost, snow and ice settling
on his battered cardboard blanket.
Clutching and holding tightly
the bag containing his life.
Broken clothes, body and dreams
completely gone, lost, forgotten.
People rushing by, no time to spare
no thought given to the
bundle of rags.

Why then do we fear him? We fear his freedom.

@sue2 Said

I didn't write this with fear in mind. Just that so many homeless people are passed by & just forgotten

That came across to me very well.

So touching and sadly so true all too often. I do genuinely feelpity and long to help such who are in desperation, but it grieves me to see those who fight for their rights and cause havoc and yet could have more than I have only too lazy to even try.

Thanks for sharing that Sue.
