A Homeless Man's Eyes
By: Monica Strihavka
I wrote this poem for my brother because he needed a poem for his English class.
Have you ever looked into
A homeless man's eyes?
And seen the pain
Caused by years of torture?
And the fear
Of death that awaits him
Around every corner?
Have you seen the lonliness
That burns in his eyes
Knowing that he's all alone
In this vast world?
The lack of hope continues to grow
With each passing day
And thickens the dark cloud
Hovering just above his head
Have you ever wondered
What he might be thinking
Or how wise he may really be?
Did you even stop to care?
