[hometext] => A commentary on how our consumeristic society is becoming evermore negligent when it comes to the issue of homelessness. (Spoken Word)
[bodytext] => He stands there. His burden bundled under his arm. Corners, tattered and unkempt. Corners he tries so hard to turn, yet always back To the same road. Dead End. They look down at him, Yet they do not look him in the eyes, do not hear his plea. The ears of society, clogged with consumerism. Sometimes they may pry, at the bottom of the purse Bottom of the purse for bottom of the heap Bottom of the barrel, scraping a living Bottom of the food-chain, police come a'kickin Bottom of the bridge, we never even listened.
