Vagrant Poem by Paul Warren

I walked in the street today
As ordinary as you may say
And the sun was shining too
A nice day walking through

When I saw a man with a dirty face
Shuffling along at a slow pace
He just looked forward and not around
And not a word spoken - not a sound

Just another lost soul in this world
For a time I suppose he was not be felled
By his life that had drew him some short straws
When once it had promised so much more.
