I saw you

Brother...
I saw you.  We couldnt look at each other, but I saw you.  Broken.  Dying.  Homeless.  But still proud.  Did God forget you, or was it just me that ignored you??  Looked away so our eyes wouldnt meet.  Its the fear you bring me.  I know deep inside... Im not better than you.  I am you.  One strong wind and we're in the same place, so yes you terrify me.  And yes, maybe I give you that dollar in my pocket, but we both know that wont help you.  All it'll do is make me feel better as I sip my cofee and walk away.
