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
