My old land lord won't rent the property that our old mobile home is on to my Uncle Steve because he isn't married to his girlfriend Michelle. Yet he rents to druggies, drunks and women of the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why is it some people
Like only people of one race
But cannot like people
Of another race?

I do not understand
Why a person can rent land
To druggies, drunks and hoes
And can't rent it to a person
Who is not married to a woman
And yet they are still raising
A family together

Why are people mean like that
Why can't they treat everybody
The way they like to be treated
Why do they turn down the needy
For people who not worthy
And who don't want help for their problems

People need to learn
To love everybody
They need to learn
To treat people with compassion
And help those who really
What their help

I hate prejudice
Why can't we all
Just get along

Cold hands means a warm heart

I agree with this poem. I'd have pulled out a sword and said to the landlord, "Rent me the [CENSORED] house or see what a samurai does to his enemies."

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
