Social Comment - The Weak One Poem by Paul Warren

How could you look like that and never take a stand
Go on look at you now! You're not a stronger man!
When he comes into work he won't look at you in the eye
All he does is walk around and look away towards the sky!
If I were him I would take it in and look stronger in the mix
Standing tall and would not take any of life's very dirty tricks.

Maybe you do not know what he faces each day in his struggle true
How would it be if in his place it was the same as his life for you
Would you get up and face the day and take each lonely step
Or when your strife and times are bad would each day be a threat
Think of him when you go forth with happiness in your home
Thank the stars for your life and help him make his burden be gone.
