Do you....?

Do you see the man, walking down the street
No shirt on his back, no shoes on his feet
Do you see the look upon his face
Despair that lingers, of happiness no trace
Do you see the people that just pass by
Trying their best not to look him in the eye
Do you see the box that he calls a home
As he sits and ponders his fate all alone
Do you wonder what happened, to make him like this
As we sit in luxury, enveloped by bliss
Do you wonder what would happen, if that were you
Despondent and alone, not knowing what to do
Do you wonder what it feels like, to be that man
Then don't think - act, and extend your hand
For we all are part of the brotherhood of man
So let's help each other, by spreading humanity
Making this world a better place to be.


I just wrote this in response to another poem that my friend Sandy wrote. She suggested that I publish it on my blog, so here it is!

Enjoy!
