You, old man

You old man

Monday,26th August 2019

 

"You old man" get lost

no place for you here at any cost

I was virtually on the road

homeless shaken bodily on the road

 

why children become intolerant?

and unwelcome parents

show them the door

and make them virtually destitute and poor

 

I have no regret

but let

my feeling be put in the air

to look reasonable and fair

 

who will not leave behind?

enough to live on and find

comfortable means to carry on

with the rest of life to put on

 

the wind is really blown

in the opposite direction

with the living hell

bear it in mind and not to reveal to anyone

 

this is a stark reality

and looks dirty

but it happens with old people

who really feel grieved and struggle
