Grotesque Faces

[DWAYNE]

I know you.
You eat the loaves,
and leave the crumbs,
you give them change,
then call them bums.

I know you.
You shook their hands
when first did meet,
but now they come,
you cross the street.

I know you.
You laughed,
and nodded your head,
at every epithet they said.

I know you.
In
deep
dark places,
your multitude
of grotesque faces.

DWAYNE - your verse is thought provoking, affirming, challenging, and beautiful - all at the same time. Excellent verse, poet.

Saying a lot, with few words and no punches barred. That's what poetry can do... nicely writ!

Wow, I wrote something about the homeless but you summed it up strongly in very few words.
