Bag Lady
I am a reporter of local newspaper and today I am spending my time observing peoples reactions as I live alongside a homeless woman. I had noticed the anger and the sadness in her eyes. Looks form the eyes of strangers who passed her on the street, rush past without noticeable unease.
As soon as people passed by us, most looked at me—ignoring her existence. The way I was dressed and looked made my appearance a lot better than hers. This actually didn’t make me feel any better. In my opinion, many people have judged the bag lady without getting to know her.
Water was dripping down her clothes cutting off the violence on the streets. It seemed like those people took advantage of each other.
If only for the moment, the homeless, not only are viewed as less than human by society.
I felt bad enough for the lady on the street. I wanted to do something special for her—like taking her out to dinner or something. However, I know that I will only take care
