Walking down a street one night

Did you not see me?
I guess I am easy to miss!
Did you not see my need?
But why would you even care?
Did you not hear me when I called?
Maybe I did not shout loud enough?
Did you not notice my silent groan?
I can't blame you, no one ever does.
Did you not realize my desperation?
I wish you had stopped and asked.

Why did you not feed me when I was hungry?
You had food in plenty, I saw you throw it away.
Maybe I would not have gone hungry that night.
Why did you not clothe me when I was naked?
Your closet is full with things you don't need.
Maybe I would not have frozen in the cold.
Why did you not give me a cup of cold water when I thirsted?
You have all the drink you need.
Maybe I would not have gone hungry for the day.
Why did you not give me a home to sleep when I was homeless?
You have so many empty rooms in your house.
Maybe I would have felt safe for once that night.
Why did you not protect me when I was an orphan?
You looked like such a nice person.
Maybe I would have had a father once in my life.

Now it is too late, you have gone past me and never even stopped and looked.
Please look more careful when walking down a street next night!
