A LA CARTE ASSIGNMENT: STONE COLD8. Write a poem about the life of a dosser (5 points)
Everyday morning, noon and evening again,
You’re praying to God and end it with Amen.
Religion is now the only thing you could rely on,
It doesn't matter if it’s the Bible, Torah or Koran.
You just hope that one of them will hear you,
That they will understand your point of view.
Every day you’re asking people for cash,
They would look at you like you’re trash.
All these people don’t actually see you,
Everyone just watches right through you.
People want to shun us like we’re invisible,
They all see us like we’re a shady criminal.
They don’t know all the dangers of being a dosser,
They don’t know how thankful you’re for that dollar.
They don’t know how cold it can become at night,
The only thing that they do is to watch you in despite.
When you’ve a bit of money you go to the boat for a safe place,
A place where people don’t look at you in disrespect and disgrace.
However, the boat is unfortunately not the nicest place to sleep,
But it is more comfortable than consuming a night on the streets.
It’s so tight in the boat that you have to sit right next to each other,
But you don’t really mind considering that now you don’t suffer.
Unfortunately this is it like to don’t have a roof over your head,
You’re always hungry and would do anything for a piece of bread.
