Lonely Man

For all the lonely people, as the song goes.

Severed arms reaching

Eyes pleading

Sat in the dirt forever needing

Beggar is his name

People have no shame

Forgotten in life

Forever in strife

Lonely man where do you belong?

Known unto God

Thank you Tim, I see so many beggars here in Thailand so I had to write about them, although I know it's not just Thailand that has them. Regards, Colin

It is a sad situation that creeps into the heart of all who notice. Nice poem.

Thank you Chris and John, I am only a novice at this really. I like to keep it simple with feeling. We are all learning everyday. Ray Bradbury the famous science fiction writer wrote every day for 68 years so I have a lot of catching up to do. Regards, Colin
