He has not a bite to eat
As he hits his coffee cup
For some spare change
To fall into it....
He lived a life of profession
A soldier perhaps,
That saw babies die,
before the disease
took hold of him-
by both hands.
He spent his summers
wandering the roads
along the eastcoast highway,
held up a sign that said,
"Food please",
recovering from a trauma
that many of us
(But yet the minority)
can relate too.
And I fed him alongside the road-
giving him oats and drink
wondering the whole time
what I can do to help.
Picked up by a cop,
a good cop,
who couldn't bear
to see the homeless man suffering.
For we have all suffered once-
with a friend to fall back on.
But this man suffers the political saavies
and lives to tell his story...
adev
So seriously people....
Next time you see a homeless man on the street...he wont bite.
Give him something to eat and lend him an ear to listen.

you have to smart, but then you also have to go with your heart. there are moments when one overtakes the other and human insticts i think are pretty good.
i've only been wrong once, and i wasn't too wrong i just got my feelings hurt a bit, but i think maybe you know, i wasn't sensitive to the situation, maybe i was being condescending instead of thinking what can this person teach me.
anyway, that was several years ago, and it hasn't happened again.
and that's my story.
Great poem Ali!
but memories...they eat me
I've seen it all before,...
bring it on cause I'm no victim.

I remember going to New York when I was in a show and my friend Nora gave her fajitas to a homeless guy and I screamed at her like he was going to lash out.I was so scared and so ashamed for thinking that.So upon taking one of my own homeless trips down the atlantic coast...I stopped for the homeless man along side of the road.I always wondered if a cop picked him up....;)
Then my dad and mom ventured to floridas Miami beach and we decided to give the homeless some donuts.:)Maybe if we all helped each other out in this world...it wouldnt be such a terrible place as defined...

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

I have to admit...I dont think about them nearly as much as I should cause in my neighborhood...nobody's homeless unless you go into the city of Trenton.
Even then..when you go to give a dollar that you yourself dont have..you begin to think..."Well...at least I have a job"
My dollar I donated dont mean much compared to the hundreds that some poeple are able to give...but I guess everbody does their part in some strange way.Reminds me of how far in debt I am with my credit cards!
But the homeless...need help cause most of them are sick.It just makes me wonder.I always wanted to just live on a beach thats deserted, but..."home"less?

I dont know if I should continue the classes or not.She moved this girl up in
the night after class to be the leads girlfriend in this movie coming out(Cant mention any names in public) ..when I'm older,have more experience, and have a resume.It just irks me this buisiness.Its so cutthroat and catty.I think I'm out of Hollywood and just sticking to playwriting and poetry...I have more personal success with that.I'll get a day job and just relax it all to heaven's edge, so be it.These people,most in the industry have no morals and ethics...its like everthing I strive for is cut off from reality.Its tough.
And this casting agent told me to lie on my resume.Thank God I have a partttime job at the YMCA and have other things going.I just dont want to pay her for classes anymore.I've got a degree in Theatre for goodness sake and this "lead" has nothing....

that sucks. It is rough not beeing chosen over somebody clearly less quallified. Sounds like your staying upbeat though. thats good, because it sounds like you are not the type of person to spread yourself thin. GL

I mean...I dont mean to say I'm the epitome of greatness,but I have some knowledge that some dont have and have the drive for honesty to prevail in the situations where I keep my monatary time at,therefore-I'm pulling out before she decides to crush my soul even more.Forget my heart...we've got doctors to fix that.
