#LonelyStreetlight

I stand in silence, night after night,
A lonely watcher, casting my light.
Do you see me glowing, steady and small?
Do you wonder if I feel anything at all?

The beggar weeps on the frozen ground,
His dreams are lost, nowhere to be found.
How many tears has the cold earth caught?
How many lives has the world forgot?

A starving dog with a broken gait,
Searches for scraps but meets only fate.
Can you hear its howl, sharp and thin?
Do you care...
