I watched them in happy times and watched them turned out in the worst weather. I laughed with them and watched them die. I’ve seen some smile, just to be recognized or have someone know their names.
I may have opinions as to what it might take for change but consider myself as a very small person in a land of giants when it comes to the solutions for homelessness.
“There are eight million stories in the naked city” was the concluding line in an old 1958 TV series and the same could be said today, about the poor, homeless and marginalized. Writing fictional stories is easy as the true stories are easily reflected. “Are there no prisons? Are there no work houses?” A quote from Charles Dickens, is so similar to what many people are saying today and like Scrooge, good people who have lost contact with the real issues.
I truly believe there are so many good people who would do something more if they had the least peek into the real lives of so many unfortunates. I am hoping my simple short stories will rob you of a minute of your time and lead you to a thought of a person, place, time you have experienced, having the opportunity, remembering a similar experience or experiences and will cause you to return to reap the reward of that euphoric feeling, one sometimes receives from attempting to help another, in this broken world.
