Minister of the Street

   He ministers to his congregation
      the lame, the numb and the broken
   On random street corners they gather
      To watch him perform, they’d rather – 

   Than rattle their cup for a quarter
      or beg for a measly thin dime
   ‘Cos when he growls at a suit and scares him
      they all howl ~ forget their troubles for a time

Thanks, Hilda. Glad this one 'ministers' to you, so to speak...
