Man by the bustop
Look at him!
Such a dirty tired man
Laying by the bus stop
Covered with old rags and a cardboard box.
People walk by and laugh, you see them laugh and you laugh as well.
Everyone would laugh wouldn’t they?
Laugh at how growing up as a young boy he loved school like everybody else
He was smart like everybody else, even smarter.
Now a handsome young man who was liked in high school
Full of joy but then broken because of what happens after school
No love no food no money
He suffers to make a dime which is not enough for college.
Lured in by temptation to make fast cash
Gets caught up along the way and ends up in darkness
Walking around searching for the light.
He stumbles, then falls, and sleeps.
Wakes up from what he though was a dream till he looks around him
He dies a little as the hot tears burn his face of no hope and lost confidence
Look at him!
Laying by the bus stop
Covered with old rags and a cardboard box
You still laughing now?
