People walk by me, day after day
Scowls on their faces, as they look my way
Night after night, braving the cold
Wondering if I, will ever grow old
Here, on the streets, I am, all alone
But this is the place, I get to call home
Hoping that one day, I may really embrace
Once again feeling human, in this lousy rat race.

Cold, like the rain on a winter’s day
Callously sticking to my skin,
Old, like blackened snow, I stay
Draped in clothing, wearing thin
Shattering, chattering, subzero illusions
Numbing my senses, in vain
Chattering, shattering, icicle profusions
Looking for warmth, to guide me again
Stabbing through me, sharp and jagged
The pain just won’t go away
Leaving me breathless, hopelessly ragged
I fall to my knees, and I pray
The colder weather is approaching, Reach out and spread the warmth in your heart to those less fortunate.

There is no power
When humanity collides
And we lose the race

Eternity lies
Beyond humanity’s gate
Chained to a life spent

This is my contribution to the wonderful collaboration of poets around the globe, the brainchild of Michael from The Poetry Channel, and hosted by our dear Neha of Forgotten Meadows. Please consider adding to this beautiful piece of work by clicking HERE and posting your poem in the comments. 🙂
It takes only a moment, to be kind
When human hearts, seek to find
The warmth of a smile, a cheerful face
Love and happiness, without a trace
Of hopelessness or mere despair
We, as one, must show we care
By lending hands to those who need
And stopping those who intercede
As brothers and sisters, together we stand
And Peace must reign o’er the lands
