At the Crossroads of Infinity

All the ad's on the Tv
Are full of must have Xmas treats
Which seems rather obscene to me
When there are people sleeping on streets...

All along the high street
Carol's are audibly fed
I hope you remember those sleeping on the streets
When you are tucked up in your bed ....

Signs for Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Offer deals that can't be beat
Whilst huddled in their doorway
People are sleeping on the streets....

Are you one of those who will eat more in a day
Than they will in a week?
Sorry if that thought spoils your holidays
But at least you're not sleeping on the streets....

There is a rise in mental breakdowns
And male suicide has increased
It's the same in every single town
When there are people sleeping on the streets....

This country is in decay
Humanity is facing defeat
It's like that all over the Uk
Because people are sleeping on the streets.....

"Ignorance is the enemy..."

"Ignorance is the Enemy...."

John...Well said my friend. I don't understand how the rich and powerful can be so blind to the world and reality of what's going on around them. I better not get on my soapbox, i'll be here all night...Paul

By the way are you still into music?

From your pen to God's ears! So well said! This is the time of year for giving and those that can are truly blessed. May God impress upon their hearts where their giving will do best. ~L
