Homeless

Sitting on the sidewalk

Day after day

Dodging all repulsion

And disgusted stares

As dappers smug

In their well rehearsed gaits

Keep walking strutting by

Unimpressed, I take a swig

Wipe my lips, of the cheap spirit

Take one bite

From leftovers in bins

Stuffed in my shabby bag

Mutter under breath

Then curse out aloud

To hell with these guys

And their sanitised world

Where the broken are thrown

Out on the streets

Like a stinking garbage can
