Never noticed .

There he is again
That same old man
Sitting on the corner
Wishing his life could be better

He is nice caring
was a hopeful man
He was smart well educated
Nothing could ever go wrong
but now ....

He holds on to a foam cup
Wishing for some cash
passing people toss pennies ,and dimes
This is how he passes his time

People pass,not seeing the real him
the one man they see is on the outside not the one on the inside
wih torn clothing ,broken shoes
but do they notice,for he doesn't smell of alcohol

No one cares to look in his eyes
No one thinks ,where does man sleep at night
In the park on that same old bench
covered in old newspapers
This is future and his past
Will life get any better ?, How much longer will it last ?

Walks down the rode pulling his cart
full of bottles , and old scraps of things
These are his life treasures
His personal keepsakes

No one knows That this old man once lived a wonderful life
With his wife a 3 kids
No one bothered to ask why him why is life is the way it is
The thing is he once was very happy with is wife

Does he have any plans , wishes , hopes , dreams ?
He is just a normal human
whos life turned bad ,after his best friend
shot and killed his wife and kids
In a jealous spree

Its not his fault He lives this way
Its not his fault each night ,he wishes he could just fade away
Its not his fault You don't choose to see What ones man life is living on the streets
Its not is fault his best friend took away his family
hopes and dreams
Its not his fault .....don't you see ?

The only reason he is on that empty street
Is unspoken not to be told
His hurting ,deep secret
For the word brings tears to anyones eyes
He wishes for a better tomorrow
Some love ,some answers
He wishes for his heart to heal all the pain he feels

People pass ,they do not ask
what his name is ,how he is
how he feels ,what he thinks
these simple little questions do not pass their minds
He has feelings , he has everything you do as a person
But noone takes the time just a second
To look in his eyes and feel the pain he feels
what goes through his mind
Just a normal person like you and I
