Provided below is a poem of mine titled "Street." "Street" was written for the many people who are homeless in our land.
===============================================================================
STREET
Weathered and forgotten man
Papered on an open bench,
Moves much of his world
Pushing a rusted shopping cart,
Never complains or talks too much
Counts pieces of his life in the dark,
He sometimes sits and longingly waits
Often looking toward the Eastern Gate. ~
~Jim Magill Poems (c) James Magill. All Rights Reserved. "Street" has been previously published on a First Rights Basis.
======================================================================
I have written a manuscript of unpublished poems titled "Reflections on the Human Condition." Someday, and somehow, perhaps I will be able to find a publisher who might have an interest in the previously described. I have always hoped that my poetry would be a vehicle via which I could improve my general life circumstances, and I still hold on to that dream.
