Watch Over Me




Left thrown out
Isolated all alone
No one to shelter
His worn out bones

Scavenging scraps
Thirst for the next puddle
No number on the door
No place
To call home

No letters to greet him
Only the letters of his name
No address to deliver them to
It seems no one is to blame

No job no hope
Fear on his back
Wondering what tomorrow
Will bring
His mind is weak
He is about to crack

No one stops to ask
What his story is
No one seems to have time
He watches on
Doesn’t seem to mind

What a waste
As his eyes fix on
A left over sandwich
He is about to salvage

Prayers they fall on deaf ears
As day turns into night
He slowly disappears
No one cares
