Get stoned
get bent
No money for rent
Walk the streets
in bare feet
Beg for change
then go eat
Share a bottle
of cheap wine
Get you mother
on the line
all the alleys
smell like piss
God! it's great
to be free

...and some of us forget to count the blessings we have, rather we cuss and moan and gripe because we think we're being spited. The dog-pucky on our shoe is from our big backyard behind our huge multistoried house, in our "oh so exclusive, gated neighborhood". We don't even consider those who have human "pucky" on their shoe, and water comes from the curb, food from the trash, etc., etc. But then, we can't save the world can we...Only God can do that...and fortunately, though it's hard for us to see it at times, he takes care of his own, in his own way and time.

Well said piece, my friend.
