a very well written poem with great flow and the images were definately well crafted, a very sad write my friend, , , it is a shame in this day of such wonders and marvels that we have people suffering and as well causing suffering, , , , why this continues on, , I can never truly figure out, , , , except that for some to exist in the humanrace they feel they must inflict pain and anger whether it be body injury or even just in the mind, that is how some people exist just for pain and discomfort, they could never truly be happy for they do not no it at all, , , , , blessings..Cecil

Stark, matter-of-fact, yet deeply sorrowful, powerful... Everyone is a person with history and memory... value. This excellent poem brings it home.

Melvina, this is sad, poignant and shows vividly how low some can fall. I felt like reaching out and trying to help him back to his feet again. It brought a lump to my throat. Beautifully written by a great poet (Melvina Germain) Each line slipped neatly into the next. The flow just carried you on until the end. It is a heartfelt poem, written from the heart. I loved it. Thank you for sharing it. David
