Elements
Inches of snow, flakes falling to the ground inevitably sticking to the ground
A blanket in used condition with some wear tear is wrapped around a man
The shoulders of a bruised, starved, and ill man treated as an animal, a hound
Very few will employ, and very few want to help this man once a veteran
Others scholars, brothers, sisters, mother's, father's, son's, daughter's
Now wrap themselves with a similar blanket some newer some older
A man sleeping on cold hard concrete with a blanket, and two pillows.
Barely enough to keep him comfortable kicked when low
Fighting every day just to stay alive, and have a meal
Some deliver food that are leftovers, forever thanking those people
Heat strikes, and the cancerous UV rays hit as we seek shade
Water is something always desired when the heatwave gets intense
It's these elements that hurt us, and keep us so tense.
