When society turns away it’s eye’s, many unfortunate souls fall through the cracks of life’s pavement.
Sometimes, their situation may not be due to their fault, but as a result of poor governance, social strata, and displacement.
Indeed, some may have taken the wrong turn and don’t have the inner strength to pull out of the miry bog they’ve found themselves in.
Let’s not be hasty in judgement and assumption that all who are down and out, are lazy or doing drugs. That’s being misinformed. I know places where some humans are so poor that they can barely afford a meal a day, talkless of doing drugs.
The essence of communities is so that we can break bread together.
One of my greatest aspirations is to have a foundation positively geared to assist those who don’t have food to eat. Have you ever seen a smile on that hungry face who least expected that piece of sandwich? It’s beautiful.
I may not be able to change the World single-handedly, but together, we can do more if we are willing.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.

Expose my heart
that I may understand your words
through every conscious,
awakened pore of each moment.

Beautiful thoughts. And, I agree that everyone, regardless of how they found themselves in a hard situation, deserve kindness and love. We have no way of knowing what burden led them there. in lak’ech, debra

This is spot on. There is no blame in being poor, or homeless or addicted to something to ease the pain. Only blame on societies which fail to allocate resources appropriately.
