Can't You See Me. Poem by Annette Aitken

Till one day the gods conspired took away my wife my child and all in life that I held dear now in tatters, filled with tears......cant you see me....... against all callousness of the people around us who dont care about the poor and needy..... a touching poem....... thank you dear Ann. tony

This is the first work of yours that I have come across. It is indeed a powerful reminder that each person is an individual with all of the dignity that humanity ought to confer, but we so easily forget this, becoming consumed with position and appearance. Thank you for this well-written and needful reminder. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Are you ashamed to look my way? Yes! Time changes. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Are you scared to look my way, in case this could be you someday? Thous are indeed powerful words that you have skillfully penned, great poem!

Very beautiful exprations Can't you see me sitting here? On the street corner year upon year

A plea for recognition from a man who has lost everything but he has gained wisdom and dignity as he observes the career people with their aloofness racing to the top that can crumble so easily. Great write with lovely rhyming!
