Searching

The grizzled old man walked
Into the shelter seeking a
Place to sleep for the night
Because it was freezing
He got a place and put his
Duffel bag next to him
If any of the other homeless
People knew he had one
Hundred thousand dollars
Tucked away in his vest a
Riot surely would have
Broken out
He talked to nobody
He looked as forlorn as
The rest of them
He was just trying to find
His family and lost to a
Horrible disease at the same
Time
