Another, I Guess you Could Call Reflective

OK, so two of these type of things within the last two days. You´re probably saying, ¨Arin, you sure are getting deep! Maybe it´s time you return to the states???¿¿¿¨ I actually wrote this several days ago. There is a woman, who, for the last week, continues walking by and asking me for money. So, finally after around the 10th time of her asking, she inspired me to write a short poem.

With child in tow
In a cloth tied taught
She walks around, in a drifters cause.
Hoping those who see, will give-
Yet give, they do not.
The world seems filled with many sads
To just open your eyes-
they begin to become apparent
Though, help seems blind to the cause.
Absent of the helping hand, or just absent of the hand-
People walk past in a hapless trance.
Unconcerned with their life that's not
They just, continue to walk.


Now, I bet you´re wondering which side of the helping hand I was on. I guess you´ll just have to keep wondering.
