Homeless guy i walk by every single day. 

He seems so nice but people always turn away. 

One day i stood with him and we talked for a while.he seemed so happy but he had sadness in his smile. 

I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much. 'cause sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation." 

I didn't understand until he looked at me and said"millions like me are freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die. 

Change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend but I'd rather be treated like a person again." 

As i stood with him a business man walked up. a winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup. 

I was so angry that i ran and chased him down. 

I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. 

I shook my head and said "youre a f**king dick" he turned pale and asked me what the f**k i meant. 

He'll never understand but still I pointed back and said 

"millions like him are freezing tonight and no one cares if they live or die. 

Change in his cup gives him a couple bucks to spend but he'd rather be treated like a person again."
