HOMELESS  PERSON photo: Homeless person statue outside the Hilton KenyaI008.jpg


BROKEN LIFE

The fog hangs low against the ground

Sounds of vermin reach my ears

How did I end up this way

All alone, in this dank dark cellar

Where only the lost souls live

My mother was a good woman

She did the best she could

Now they are all gone

And I find myself in this cesspool of empty lives

I once had a loving husband

Who cared for me as if I were a princess

But he ran from truth

Then came the hideous pains in my head

Dark times where no memory remains

Then the sanitarium where I was told there was no hope

Now the Streets, eatting food from the starving

Death will be a blessing

A end to a nightmare

Say goodbye.


Karen  J. Keicher Lowe
