Solitude
On a busy, fast maneuvering morning in Downtown,
There lays an abundance of rags in a filthy corner of a doughnut shop.
Hordes of hectic souls hustling to their place
kicking,without notice.
That there lays a man
Face, filled with despondency and desolation
Clad with bedraggled sheets of torn cloth.
One hand holding a corroded old canister,
Desperate to hear the sounds of clink
Shaking, shaking, and shaking
But those spirits pay no attention
As if he appears invisible
‘Til one woman came,
One hand with a marker,
One hand with a board,
Moments later, the bittersweet metallic sounds drop
Clink, clink, and clink.
The man, shocked and astounded
For that man had not known that the board says,
“Please help, I’m blind.”
The way society criticize the disadvantage
Cause his disability to daunt him since youth
It’s like a vile beast that haunts you in your nightmare
And now, Solitude lingers with him
Solitude caused his lack of communication skills,unemployed
Unemployed, and now, destined for destitute
Wishing for Hope to bring him prosperity
Like that humane woman
