Extremely alone are souls that walk along life's path unseen.
Sadly, they are there; children, teens, men, and women, all unclean.
No abundance of hot water, shelter, soled shoes, and cooked meals,
simple pleasures; so often wasted when they lose their appeal.
A hellish existence that society labels half-wits,
or misfits, derelicts, addicts, drunks, or homeless who have quit.
All those that allow this stench of failure under their armpit --
Jesus sees these lost souls; surely, saddened to look at this scene.
You made to believe czars, Congressperson, driving fancy wheels,
Take heed. Judgment day awaits one and all; for its holy writ.
