~> Me And My Shadow

Thad Wilk

me and Shadow

we've been partners 

dang near nine years now-

Shadow he's gettin' old

an' tired lately

an' so am i,

he's been a loyal

companion always

watchin' out for me--

 

we are kinda like this

yesterday's newspaper

here we found

by the curb today-

we're old news 

wrinkled an' discarded;

folks just walk

on by, turn their

heads uncaring--

 

yep, we're outcasts of

society, unseen

like ghosts in the wind-

but we'll git by

we been through a lot

together him an' i

through thick an' thin--

i know he's hungry

an' i am too,

but we'll make it

one day at a time,

we're buddies to the end

me and my Shadow~

                G’day Thad (not really, Is it?)

                β€œThe Devil take the hindmost’
                - Our Society the host.
                Capitalism is great
                For those, the wealthy who rate;
                But not for me and my mate
                Who are now getting quite old
                And soon will die in the cold.

                There he goes again – Dave ranting all political……

                    Wow! Thad! Thank you for not only noticing, but sharing with others what you saw! This is how awareness is raised. Tragic for that mom and baby. For many moms and babies. These times are hard...harder on some than others. Well done my friend. A most serious and heart piercing poem! πŸ’”πŸ™

                      to this sad happening going
                      on still today.. 😞
