Lonely city streets

 Driving along these city streets
Watching cars go by upon their beats
Traffic flowing everywhere
People engrossed in their own cares
Hurrying, rushing everywhere
No time to stop to even look about
People beeping horns; impatience rife
Everyone is always running late
Non-stop traffic: crazy lives
Too busy to even look at life
Poor old man crossing the street
Bent over double: both ends meet
His walking frame: his lifeline
As nobody seems to have the time
He must go out into this mess
Along the streets: heaviness
In his heart he knows his place
Nobody stops to ask his name
He is just one of so many
Lost to their own sorry fate!
