We've all seen him.

The man on the train asking for "fare".
The guy on the corner with a sign saying
"Help
Homeless
Hungry"

We know the smell of garbage, *****, and despair.

That's why we have headphones isn't it?
That's why we have iPhones and blackberry's .
Why make eye contact when we can just look busy and pretend that creature isn't there.  
What's wrong with that?  
We all do it.
We all wish they would just get a job or at the least go someplace where we don't have to see 'em.
That's not too much to ask, that's no too much, is it?

I know! Let's make them fight for money!
Let's make them clean the streets and in exchange we'll give them *****, sandwiches, and meat.
That'll do just fine.

That should solve the problem indeed.
Ignore, ignite, and indulge.

As long as they don't bother me.

As long as we don't have to think about it or be faced with the inconsolable truth that maybe, just maybe, that the person sitting there is a human, and that at some point that person sleeping there was probably
just
like
me.
