Testo February One

homeless guy i walk by every single day.
he seems so nice but people always turn away.
one day i stood with him and we talked for a while.
he seemed so happy but he had sadness in his smile.
I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much.
cuz sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation."
I didn't understand until he looked at me and said
"millions like me are freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die.
change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend
but I'd rather be treated like a person again."
as i stood with him a business man walked up.
a winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup.
I was so angry that i ran and chased him down.
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
I shook my head and said "youre a fucking dick"
he turned pale and asked me what the fuck i meant.
he'll never understand but still I pointed back and said
"millions like him are freezing tonight
and no one cares if they live or die.
change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend
but he'd rather be treated like a person again."
