Today I saw a man with a hole in his mouth,
What had he done to deserve such a fate?
I felt instant pity, and guilt that I had escaped such a fate.
I walked on by, went back to work and forgot about it.
...
A man walks in with a see-through carrier bag and a pint of Australian lager, sold in bulk to keep the masses happy with its refreshingly low price,
He's got a pint of milk,4 oranges and a two litre bottle of cheap cider to hide away his misery when he returns to the solitude of his poorly furnished flat.
He turns the pages of today's news, trying to find interest in things he doesn't understand, he doesn't want to understand.
...
Guilt
Today I saw a man with a hole in his mouth,
What had he done to deserve such a fate?
I felt instant pity, and guilt that I had escaped such a fate.
I walked on by, went back to work and forgot about it.
Until now.
The pit of my stomach hurts again.
