Just when you think you've seen enough..



Maybe this is getting too repetitive.When things keep happening its because no one does anything about it.
Today i'm writing about something that I've already spoken about before.
Outside a popular eatery today ,I saw a very old man. He was in rags, barefoot and bent.Age along with poverty..not the nicest combination.Clap it up with loneliness and no family,and you've got yourself the man i'm talking about.

As usual he was going about his work.Limping around,going to these loaded and hip youngsters,who came out of the eatery haven individually spent at least fifty bucks.Today, he limped towards these two young boys,roughly fifteen-sixteen in age.You know the ones i'm talking about..just out of school.Newest phones in their hands,dressed in their evening casuals ,all complete with a smile on their faces that usually reflects youth.Those kind of people. Like you and me to be honest.
Well,anyway, so this very old man limped towards them and extended his hand towards them.They placed something in his hand.After which this man, of around seventy years of age,having lived most of his life  on the streets,going from one meal to the next(or probably not),probably never having had a life where he didn't have to struggle everyday,or face humiliation or disappointment..this very old man..bent down and touched the feet of those two boys.

What happened after that was just too blurry for me.
