Drifter Of The Population by Erica Ivory Friday, December 31, 2004 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Who has walked this path? Some cannot get out.. They are eithermentally ill or young woman with children who have no place left to go.. Many are vets that served our country.

Who is this person? Standing here in this filthy alley of despair. Dirty cloths Matted hair Weathered skin Empty eyes. Lives in the street No place to rest.. No money to eat… Part of a nonexistent world.. No one remembers.. Who he is.. Who he once was.. Not always worthless.. Not a lost cause.. A victim of circumstance in this cavernous world.. Sucked into societies vacuum of hopelessness.. Desperation.. No longer part of the human population… Now treated less than an Animal.. Criminal.. There is no help… Nothing more than a frayed thread of hope.. To help him climb out of poverty Endlessness. Homelessness Looking through a tired haze.. Transparent in his nonexistence.. In another world.. Brain starved.. For nourishment.. Acceptance Humanity.. He walks on Grasping his thread of hope.. Praying to one day be reunited.. With his aspirations.. With who he once was.. With who he can be.. Holding on for the duration.. To be once again part of the human population.

This seems to be a repeat but worth repeating until we all come to grips with this problem and solve it.
