day NINE HUNDRED and FIFTY THREE


HOLY HELL

It's fine to avoid
eye contact;

they expect it
and most everyone does.

Only fools give handouts
and the stench is revolting.

Even knowing they're
on the streets
turns my stomach.

It’s not my fault
if they have children,
and feeding them now
only makes for
stronger thugs later.

Don’t get me started
on paying for their health care.

And don't get me wrong,

I give to lots of charities
through the church
and it all goes
to the deserving.

God's work ain't cheap, brother.
Let us pray.
