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 happy but had sadness in his smile
 I shis hand and he said "Thank you very much.
 'Cause 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 tonight 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 smy head and said "You're 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."
