    Brother's Keeper
    I sat on the sidewalk
    Collecting dust
    Collecting dirt
    Watching others talk
    No one stopped
    No one looked my way
    A few spoke only to mock
    I trapped in illness
    Could not defend my stillness
    My stink
    My place
    I was forgotten
    Thrown out with the trash

    Until you

    You saw me laying in the abuse
    Vomit soaked
    Urine coated
    You did not pass you refused
    You stopped
    You looked
    You cried as you washed my face
    You said you loved me
    You shared your peace
    You took me home
    Cleaned me up
    Filled me with hope
    No longer forgotten
    Sitting with the trash

    Because of you

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
