Written for the Homeless

Written for the Homeless

My soul does not find mercy -
Somewhere on the bank of oblivion;
There,
Where hunger freezes my bones to death.”

“We are all homeless enough in this world under the best of circumstances without going to any special effort to test our capacity to be more so.I don't know what's worse by the number in America, the vacant houses standing, or the homeless people falling into them.”





“Tell me What would it hurt for me to give a homeless guy a couple bucks? Who the hell cares if he spends it on beer? Maybe beer is a step up for him from the harder stuff that knocked him onto the streets in the first place. Maybe, just maybe, he’s actually going to spend it on food (homeless people do eat, right?). Maybe, he really is a desperate human being who is trying to change his situation.”

Many can not see the truth in these words and yet To those who are struggling. To talk about a struggle, you're likely to forget about it. To be shown a struggle, you're likely not to forget it. But, to live through a struggle, you'll understand it.”
“Sometimes it's easy to walk by because we know we can't change someone's whole life in a single afternoon. But what we fail to realize it that simple kindness can go a long way toward encouraging someone who is stuck in a desolate place.”

Homeless people’s suffering belongs to the amusement of our political order under a game over the right of marginalised group being transformed into citizens for merely punishment and humiliation. The Public Space Protection Orders is a penalty over one’s condition suffering – it is a fine over the disempowered for being disempowered. This act allows power to fragment the homeless into sub-humans punishable for the state of utter misery and we the people have allowed this to come to pass What does that say about the We the people and what we have become and what will we tell are children when they too have a lack of compassion and leadership in christ ??.”

We can call the homeless man women or child anything we wish but I see this in the political forum That The War on Drugs and the War on Homelessness are on a collision course that no one in the media or in public life are willing to acknowledge. Ostensibly aimed at decreasing the use of illegal drugs, the War on Drugs succeeds only in increasing homelessness hence the establishment's goal is being set and dependency on the state and taxpayer met slaves are made in such ways .”

Although both homelessness and mental illness are complex, modern ideas, we have fallen into the habit of using phrases such as "housing the homeless" and "treating the mentally ill" as if we knew what counts as housing a homeless person or what it means to treat mental illness. But we do not. We have deceived ourselves that having a home and being mentally healthy are our natural conditions, and that we become homeless or mentally ill as a result of "losing" our homes or our minds. The opposite is the case. We are born without a home and without reason, and have to exert ourselves and are fortunate if we succeed in building a secure home and a sound mind if at all in this world we live in today .”

I asked my mother What I should do !! All she had to say on the issue is son Let your love be the kindness to make a homeless person believe that a soul needs something more than just four walls and a ceiling.” There was one young women I have been helping I ask here were the scars and bruise came from she did not answer me but cried I saw the bruises, the burns, the cuts— I knew which ones had been done to her and by someone she thought she could trust. Someone she thought loved her. I knew which ones she gave yourself and I cried with her I do not know if you can see through my eyes to my heart how we felt at that moment but I can say this I felt less pain in war than I did for her at that moment in time of both our lives.

I have placed myself in their shoes the homeless I had to see exactly how it felt what I found was humiliation and Ridicule of the utmost Begging is much more difficult than it looks. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a high art form that takes years of dedicated practice to master.

What I see as the truth and the problem with many is the fact we have become to contempt for poverty and it  stems from information overload--this is the enabler---our over education as privileged people-- perhaps the real culprit--and our secret assurance that we ourselves owe no one anything beyond the exhausting daily round. We will defend our lack of idealism to anyone and be horrifyingly well received in this age. Indeed, many so-called financial "philosophies" are in fact nothing more than elaborate justification for one petty selfishness after the next.

And yet we can't impose our own goals, wishes, or help on anyone. We can only teach, support, and love. We give them more opportunities, more choices. Then we love them regardless of the choices they make, hoping that they will learn to make better ones in the future The Key to overcoming the challenges in life is to make up your mind to overcome the Challenge and is something I have tryed dearly to share with those I have helped and am helping.

For me I care about a lot of issues. I care about libraries, I care about healthcare, I care about homelessness and unemployment. I care about net neutrality and the steady erosion of our liberties both online and off. I care about the rich/poor divide and the rise of corporate business and I am not silent about the issues of our time. I just hope that the fact I have used my voice for truth and change as made people ,citizens and friends distrust me in such a way that they would overlook this noble cause.

"A brave heart is a powerful weapon"........a personal favourite of mine. "The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness." "Qualities of a moral order are measured by deeds." "When the governing class isn't chosen for quality it is chosen for material wealth : this always means decadence, the lowest stage a society can reach."
