I am one of the least of your brothers. <br />I am neither your son or your lover. <br />I am just another. <br />I am just a face in the crowd. <br />Neither silent or loud. <br />I just need your love and support <br />People are my court. <br />They decide whether I should live or die <br />Or sit on the pavement and cry. <br />Give me faith give me hope <br />Because I cannot cope. <br />I have no distinctive features <br />I am no street preacher <br />Sometimes I am a wretched creature. <br />I have no money I am poor <br />Siting with my begging bowl on the floor. <br />Knocking on your door <br />For shelter on your floor! <br />I have no girlfriend I cannot score <br />No one cares for me anymore. <br />I stink but I try not to think <br />I try not to think <br />I try not to think that I wish I hadn’t been born. <br />I have a yawn….. <br />Then I sleep on a park bench till dawn.<br /><br />Daniel Hooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-brother/
