People Like Us.

poem by: Valerie Russon
Written on Oct 19, 2017

All the people you see in the town
Are going about their business.
Some who are singing on the street,
Some who are begging for something to eat.

There are all kinds of people in the town 
They most likely do not know each other
But on some occasions they may say excuse me 
or just pass you by.

They do not know who your name 
Unless you see that person a far
Then they will walk towards you 
to see how you are.

There are families ,couples holding hands
Children whom are roaming the streets
For they do not see that there could be danger
lurking in the street

Times have changed since we were young
For people could be or should be 
More aware of what is happening in the street.
do not know what is or who is lurking in the street.
