Taking Care of the Neighborhood - Journal Vii
TAKING CARE OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD
Journal VII
“Citizen know thy
neighbor”
Yes, maybe in the
days before radio,
television,
and the
internet but
In today’s warped
use of indoor
activity, few,
saving those
devoted soul-saving
souls, will
go about
knocking on doors
No walking along
outside, each
cloistered
domicile
presents an air of
mystery to this
searcher
What paralysis grips
these families?
I firmly believe in
taking care of the
neighborhood
If each block-pair
throughout the land
were
properly
treated to loving
care by inhabitants
would not a
multitude of
problems be
solved?
One is limited to
the homeless, those
cast out
in our
touchless, indoor
society, mainly by
citizens
refusing to spare
time or a dime
In these last few
one is limited to
tramps, cats,
birds and
squirrels
