On The Street

hold out my hand
They see my bad
sitting against the wall.
teeth and dirty hair, I

soiling someone else's pants
Pawing through trash cans,
they no longer want.
digging for any thing,

mumble softly to
Asking for change
myself and my stomach.
where no one stops, I

nobody seems to notice
There's something wrong,
even after I’m gone.
wrong with my brain;

and the home
In the land
of the brave.
of the free
