The struggle to survive seem harder when you are without.

I do not have a car

Or the means for public transportation

I am at a disadvantage

In this modern time and age

I am like a bird of prey without wings

Or a sail boat without a constant breeze

Without transportation in a global society

Without transportation alter my reality

Image via Wikipedia

No plane, car or motor scooter

Only the ability to walk from here to there

It will greatly slow my progress

Because we cannot operate like we did in the past

You might be required to hatch hike a ride

As unreliable as it might seem

We do what we can do to get by

While we face the world’s challenges scene

My daily struggle to get from here to there

Continue in the modern society of our

Because without transportation is my fate

This is the burden on my plate

I dream to travel someday

Just like others I see passing by

Even the hawks soar above me

Making lazy circles in the cloudless sky

This is my wish and desire I have most days

My ability feels like I am confound by a ball and chain

When you a poor few folks know your name

I am just one of the nameless trying to make some gains

    To be without sometimes you don’t know what it is like to be without
