“AS YE HAVE DONE UNTO THE LEAST OF THESE…”

The master storyteller told a story about a little 8 year old girl who was living in an orphanage.
She was extremely shy and very unattractive, the other children wouldn’t play with her and she was always alone, all of the time.

She was a problem to the teachers and the management of the institution sought to get rid of her, she had already been transferred twice.

At that particular home there was an iron-clad rule that any outside communication had to be censored by the director or the associate.

Late one afternoon this little girl climbed a tree whose branches hung over the main wall, she placed an envelope on a limb as, far out as she could possibly reach.

She had been watched by the director and when the girl had returned to her room the director, in the end most undignified fashion, climbed the tree and retrieved the mysterious message.

After she had read it, without a word, she passed it to her associate.
The letter read.

From Susan to anybody who reads this,

I love you…

He Lies Bleeding

Standing exposed
on top of a building
Screaming to the world
Can you hear my cries
Do you feel my pain
I dare you to open your eyes
My entirety is so insane

He’s tired of running
Just wants to be free
They walk on by and
Prentend they do not see
The blood of the homeless
Dieing to be loved
His pain he can no longer hide
He jumps
He screams
Can’t you see?
Can’t your hear?
Can’t you feel?

He lies broken
Wanting to be
Healed…

Homeless

I don’t want to be here anymore it hurts too much to stay. Years ago I lost my sight on a reapers vengeful night.

The cursing vengeance snached out my heart,  leaving me for dead. comatose, seven years gone by, only life to dread.

I want to go back home.
But it’s so far away, for tyranny has painted it  lies, black, and gray.

Loosing everything I knew. I’m homeless so it seems, four wheels of steel tied tightly to my chest.

I’ll travel where the homeless dwell; a place excepting of my hell. No room for lies in their prison,  just exposure for  the prey.

Unwilling to be in this place, another sleepless face of naught.  I’m going homeless where I belong, no judgment on their tongues.

Tomorrow my journey home.
A beginning of my debts. I don’t want to be here any more, it hurts too much!
