A man sits on the side of the street
You look at him as you pass by
Who is this man
That holds out his cup
Taking whatever he can get
Asking for nothing at all
He has a story
That no one wants to hear
Who was that man
Where does he come from
What kind of life did he live
Has it been a good one
How did he end up on the streets
Can you help him
Can he help himself
Is he just another *** on the streets
You walk back to him
He's still holding out his cup
Always hoping for a lot
Yet he's gets so little
Clinging tightly onto what he has left
You ask him his story
It started with anger
Loneliness and destruction
Turned into hope
Happiness and inspiration
A man destroyed by drugs
He tells you he is happy now
He has found his inner peace
His message is strong
He's changed you
His story
His life
Inspirational
Hopeful
Peaceful
He's taken me
He's gone
Full circle
Worthy of that
Second Impression
