He was down on his luck,
fallen
on hard times.
some would say he was a bi-product,
an un-recyclable waste of manifest destiny.
maybe he actually faught in Vietnam,
like his sign says.
maybe he just needs a few dollars for gas,
to find his way home,
like his other sign says.
He is a person too..
"we are all human", he says.
The only difference between us-
he is on the downs
we is on the ups.
We could help him up.
We can save him,
"just a few dollars"
because he is not a drug addict,
he is not an alchoholic.
He is just another Human being,
like me
like you
like tomorrow and yesterday.
"Bad things happen to good people" he says.
And aint that the truth?
But how do you know for sure he is not scamming you and has income from having been in the armed forces and being injured and can work a regular job but is a drug addict and an alcoholic? How do you know?

Perhaps he has made these five or six different signs to test what will work at a given location as a thief does before he robs ...or ?
