Description
You don't see them
You don't feel them
You hardly ever think of them
You fear being one of them
But they are all around you
You walk by them on the street
You read about them in the paper
You donate money to them when it's tax deductible
Les MisΓ©rables are the ones that want your help
And you don't want to be aware of
****
Paris, France

Thank you for this piece. The setup for the photograph is well done, and your words convey both compassion and cynicism (if that makes sense β¦).

This is gorgeous! Great b&w. The contrast between new life (everything to learn) and someone who looks fed up of it is incredible

The composition is amazing. The idea you portray in this is so heartbreaking and the script/lyrics you supplied with the image are true and horrible: horrible because they're true and yet the truth is such an insight into human nature. We like to forget the pain of others, if it doesn't effect us, and when it does, many only help if it will show them to someone else as being a better person. And if no-one is around to see; well, we avoid.
And we avoid, and avoid, and avoid.
This photograph is touching and yet manages to skirt the edges of being cute, or fluffy, and even in a way, the depressing aspect. It is just a way of life.
