Their Fabric is Thread-Bare

How sad it is,
day after day
they slip through my fingers,
most of them.
I don't reach their ears.
They don't see me.

How sad it is,
that they were not shown
the fabric of life;
the sweet sweat of life,
the sunny breeze of life,
the smile from the soul
because of life.

How frightening it is;
they lack human compassion.
They flaunt, they jeer;
they care less who's near.
All for them
and them for themselves.

Their fabric is thread-bare.
