Detritus

.



Abandoned
at a place
that is shunned;
even by the homeless
and other street litter

Written for Magpie Talesafter a visit with a mentally ill relative who has lost hope.

  6. It is sad to be shunned and abandoned and not able to do anything about it. A dilemma for old parents if they are not careful!

  12. Perfect title for a sad poem about a slice of life in our imperfect world. Doesn't stop me from wishing perfect peace for your relative, and all those who are seen as detritus on the streets in the cities of our world.

  16. Unquestionably consider that which you stated.
    Your favorite justification appeared to be at the internet the simplest thing to bear in mind of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while other folks consider worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks
