I'Ve Seen Worse. Poem by Neil Gray

Neil Gray

Neil Gray

Some hospital I think...can't remember...was very young at the time.

I'Ve Seen Worse.

Rating: 5.0


As I walked home with the dawn chorus,
5: 30 am,
I passed a car that had
been thrown into a driveway,
the passenger door wide open
and it's content's slung,
face down,
onto the concerette floor.

And I stood there looking
at this unconcious stranger
I realised that
no matter how drunk you think YOU are
there's always some poor bastard
who's worse off.

True what you say Neil, one should only worry when they are to drunk to think at all. Nice poem, you are fast becoming a firm favourite of mine on this site. You focus on the darker, yet often more real side of life and embrace it with humour, sadness, clarity and vigour yet manage to remain unjudgemental. best wishes Vincent
