Everyone's selling the Big Issue

Met up with a friend in Victoria today, as I walked along Victoria Street I was taken back by the amount of Big Issue sellers.  Well they weren't really selling everyone was just hurrying by as if the were part of the street furniture.  Like the man outside Pret complete with suitcase and quilt.  I guess it must be safer to sleep during the day then the night.  I normally make a point of purchasing a copy of Big issue it is a good read and it is for a good cause.  Today I didn't purchase one for some reason.  Was there too many sellers didn't know who I wanted to help.

#298 The big issue

Wherever I go

all around town

there is a phenomenal

going around

it is the ‘Big Issue’

for sale

fallen on hard times

not doing so well

there are those lying

some standing

living their own personal hell

people who look totally out of place

look so competent

in this human race

yet somehow they have fallen

fallen on hard times

this is the scene

in this part of town

they stand quietly

hoping you will buy

you don’t look in their eyes

as you hurry on by
