A child alone
The wold around him
Scared
Hurt
In pain
A runaway
Left his home
Left the fighting
Left the abuse
Now he survives on the street
Doing what is needed
Taking odd jobs
Just to get by
A child alone
The wold around him
Scared
Hurt
In pain
A runaway
Left his home
Left the fighting
Left the abuse
Now he survives on the street
Doing what is needed
Taking odd jobs
Just to get by

More than a few of us like this these days, more the norm now than the exception, kinda sad, really.
Thank you
You’re very welcome ☺️
Sad story too often true. Life by hard knocks and pulling oneself up by one's own boot straps. Nicely done Tony
Thank you
A pitiful state of some poor folk.
Such an important statement right now in our world, it used to be a matter of a few now there are thousands in every country. Kudos 🌹 your last lines are so perfect for the time of this Tony, he will do anything. Breaks my heart 💔
How the times they are a changing .. and not always for the better .. you have hit on a topic very dear to my own heart Tony .. Neville
A sad, tragic reality for many...an increasing many...in this world. Well captured in this poem! Bravo!
Thank you Tristan
Awww, what a sad 😢
and touching poem
and story. Sometimes
doing what's needed to
survive might lead
to a crime. 😧
Wonderfully woven! 👍
