Can't Walk By
A shop-front settler
and man's best friend
sit side by side
on the cobblestone highway
A dreary grey bites flesh
past brave face
where a somehow smile lies
More like sunshine
A battered cardboard square
homes thick red ink
writ as a humble wish
to keep on living
Injustice rains tears
and twinkling eyes shine
And the chime of metal on metal
is spare change begging changes

This poem is so touching, the images are vivid and the words just come out at you. It was very well done.
