Memoirs of my Soul

No good dog a fraud and a thief.
Low down disgusting waste and a cheat.
 
 
These horrided names all have been bequeathed.
To the man that lies dow in the middle of the street.

No food in his stomach so he goes to buy drinks.
Hands are so filthy because there's no access to sinks.

Yes as we walk by we look in disgust.
For whats in our wallets is what we so trust.

But what does he think as we gradually pass?
Every time he takes another alcoholic gasps.

In those eyes filled with sorry tears.
Are we the beast that he most fears.

If that where are friends could we just casually laugh?
Toss out a nickel so our clothes he won't grasp.

Disgusted with my self as I sit here and type.
Wondering will these words change anyones life?

'These horrided names'..what?

'because their's no access to sinks' .. no, THERE'S not their's

'look in discuss' no, either look in DISGUST, or look AND discuss.

'For whats in are wallets' should be FOR WHAT'S IN OUR WALLETS.

'he takes anouther alcoholic gasps' should be HE TAKES ANOTHER ALCOHOLIC GASP

'If that where are friends...' what?

'..so are cloths he won't grasph' I'm assuming you meant SO OUR CLOTHES HE WON'T GRASP

.

It could possibly be good if the many many errors were fixed...

No, they won't change anything because we are all to fond of ourselves, and too scared that someone might try to take advantage.

The Good Samaritan has left the building!

Good poem.

There were some very good bits in the poem but I think it needs a lot of editing. I did find the meaning of the poem interesting and despite some of the grammar and spelling errors it kept me reading so good job!

mr philip

what are you talking about... so otherwise these words would have affected you? pshh... like i thought you were going somwhere with this story and then it just completely took a U turn... like.. what does he think of us? i thought maybe you said something about maybe he thinks were gross or something... not that he fears us... and i dont believe this guy as a bum... hes dirty cause theres no sinks around... no there are.. unless he lived somewhere like europe or something where they charge you to use their bathrooms.. but i think he's dirty cause hes a bum.. cause thats what bums do..

cause they juts dont care. and they want money... and most people wont look in disgust.. theyll think in disgust.. probably wont even look either... no food in his stomach so he goes and drinks... i guess that's a good strategy.. less food in the old tum tum the less you have to drink to forget and the less money he spends... so that works... 5 thumbs up from me

Great poem and the slightly untidy delivery seemed to add power to the poem. In the imagery you had me both empathizing with the man in the road and asking myself how would i feel if I were the passer by.

GREAT STUFF
