We are all a product of our environment

Would I dress real well, try to look like...

My boat rocks gently under a reddening sun,
is it wrong to wish for a Viking burial,
to ponder a last journey West
into the dying light?

We should all know that we come from a chaotic past,
To an info-tech age moving way to fast.
In our lives sometimes we are at our lowest low;
We all need a rope, a helping hand that will grab tight and never let go.
“Did you ever comfort...

One epic Saturday morning
The heavens and winds subduing
To permit my soul to freeing
The escaping on the road enjoying
When I heave and legs pounding
Heart throbbing and hands waving 
To every car and person passing
Over every pothole and stone leaping
Can’t stop for anything or nothing
When this rhythm...

I have no children
No drug or alcohol addiction
nor do I have a home
I am one of Brick City's homeless
Many of the faces I've seen downtown are the same faces I see at the soup kitchen...

In the past I made many resolutions
To stop smoking
Eat less and exercise more
Go the gym
Walk the dog
Endure these activities
Even though they’re a complete bore

Although never quite successful
We all do it as an annual event
Do what you can for the elderly and infirm
Giving to charity
As much...
