Out from the Chair Prison.
He sits amputated
Mechanized chair
In brisk open air.
His courage not under-rated.
The sign is brilliant green.
Homeless, please give
I’m trying to live
On my own.
Circumstances mean.
His affect seems blunted
So sad.
But just get him talking
He’s glad.
So pleased to re-enter
Though not at the centre
The Human Race isn’t so bad.
