Passing stranger


The twisted lives of strangers
Seldom see or understood
Someone you pass in the street
Face hidden beneath their hood

Hunched figure hurrying by
Eyes darting from left to right
Both hands stuffed in their pockets
They`re such a curious sight

You watch them from our window
See them nearly every day
Wondering about their life
But instead you stay away

Life is strange, you never ask
About the people you see
Maybe you should say "hello"
Set your inhibitions free!!




It is amazing that we never say "hello" to people on the street, we just walk on by, we watch them from our windows too, but we still know nothing about them.
