A Hitchhiker

By bdgrey

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I stand by the side of the road. My thumb is up, yet no one stops. They do not care for me, for they are completely oblivious. This I know because I too was once that way. Now I regret all I have done. No one stops, and no one cares. What have I done to receive this treatment? The answer is nothing. And that's the problem.We must all care for one another. You never know when you'll be in a similar situation. Written October 14th, 2001 © on Oct 13 2001 05:33 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
