February One

Homeless guy I walk by every single day
He seems so nice but people always turn away
One day I stood with him and we talked for a while. He seemed so happy but he
had sadness in his smile
I shook his hand and he said «thank you very much. 'cause sometimes
conversation’s just as good as a donation.»
I didn’t understand until he looked at me and said"millions like me are
freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die
Change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend but I’d rather be treated
like a person again. «As I stood with him a business man walked up. A winning smile and threw a wad
of gum into his cup
I was so angry that I ran and chased him down
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around
I shook my head and said «youre a fucking dick» he turned pale and asked me
what the fuck I meant
He’ll never understand but still I pointed back and said
«millions like him are freezing tonight and no one cares if they live or die
Change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend but he’d rather be treated
like a person again. »
