Wild kitties
waiting patiently
for handout
on patio.
Cats move over
for
baby skunk.

Who Cares?
Who cares…
When loved ones with dementia go missing and resources caregivers lack
When the poor are given a handout, not a helping hand to get on track
When lying scammers and telemarketers, seniors cannot hold back
And one bad decision results in suicide or homicide following a hack?
Laziness Is A Choice
Miracle Man
(from my archives)
Many are content to go through life hitching rides,
but I prefer to work and drive a car;
Those going through life constantly seeking a handout
Will always have their hand out,
and just enough in it to keep their gut from growling.
Standing amid the cold
in the long lines of hunger
It is!
the wind, a blowing
that chill the bone
pushing up from the lungs
and passing from the mouth
to a frosty cold breath
who awaits, this friendly handout
for this well needed nourishment
with hands that are in destination
reaching for the warmest of soups
Thank you for your giving!
Form:
a classroom if you will
no acts of kindness
more like the answer
to the question
are we paying attention
back in sixty-five
forty second and San Pedro
backroom of the barber shop
racking pool balls for pennies
or whatever them players
saw fit to handout
hustle in some folk’s eyes
scripture in others
Gandhi or Elijah Muhammad
Jesus over Iceberg Slim
a world like a bordello
filled with pimps and Johns
and the only ho' in the room
was me
would feel great inside
when God did give us much pride
to heaven free ride
have propensity
for much sensitivity
with humility
looked in annual
God gave me a spaniel
name was Daniel
God has made me whole
blessed by Him and saved my soul
was His greatest goal
God said twist and shout
when we received His handout
flowers up will sprout
saw latest release
properly should treat police
hair was combed with grease
How about those Horn Haiku?
