They’re on the streets wandering aimlessly
their minds aren’t right, something is off.
It may be drugs. It may be mental health issues.
One thing’s clear. They are suffering souls, lost
in this world, drifting through it barely able
to take care of themselves. It’s like their on an
erratic automatic pilot driven aimlessly by it.
They’re plights are often ignored by others
for fears they’d be trouble to interact with.
I saw one in a video today, a woman out of
her mind arrested by police packed in a van
and driven away, hopefully to a hospital maybe
to get some help if help is possible for her.
I wish people like her didn’t have to go through
such suffering whether by fate of their doing.
