Drug addict (prejudice poem)

I catch a glimpse of a man
trying to get money
he had a cigarette
perched in his mouth

But the man was carrying a bag with letters on it
inside a bit of money
he's what I call a drug addict-

a drug addict who asks for money
a drug addict who is dirty
a drug addict who doesn't care about life but only drugs

he turns and faces me
he looks away
as he sees my eyes

I pass the drug addict quickly, with disgust
wandering why he wonted money
was it for drugs?

when I look back with the question in mind
my jaw jrops when I see the letters on the bag:
money for cancer research.

I catch a glimpse of a man
trying to get money
he had a cigarette
perched in his mouth

he was collecting money
he was saving a life
