A Homeless Man

Poem Commentary

I interviewed a homeless man as an assignment for one of my classes when I was in college

A Homeless Man

 
A homeless man lived behind a liquor store
He asked me for money but I gave him more
The owner told the man to go away
The store was losing customers who pay
I asked if he would like to shower and change
And a better location I could easily arrange 
I talked briefly about a homeless shelter
Its not much but it is a lot better
He looked into my eyes and knew I was sincere
But he said that he really likes it here
He manages to eat three meals a day
And even made a bed from a bale of hay
He told me that he isn't a homeless man
But he calls himself a man of the land
