Street Corner of Life
by Jack Curson (Age: 32)
copyright 12-23-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
Hope begs on the street corner of life,
Beckoning,
For the smallest ear to hear a soul crying mutely in the depths of this vicious world.
Passerby’s thoughts linger ahead with mitigating material purposes,
Bent away from helping one whose story will run from the pages of this time,
Forgotten one step further with each lost stare.
Your eyes may rise upon the dawn of this faith,
Catching small droplets of love upon the face of the direly needy,
Grasping at the smile given so freely with the added benefits of sustenance from coin,
But this story continues on long after your heart, soul, mind, ego are quenched.
Imagine your place in this heart of Hope,
Gathering about the brighter side of believing to abound in Love
Or sulking about in a selfish worship of reality YOU!
Choices bring about these precognitive decisions made immediately with hateful regard.
Could this crook in the road bring about false lives conceived in the storybook of your soul?

It is tempting to give cash to those on the corner and think we have helped someone. A few months ago I came across someone begging because she said she was starving. My family and I were going into a fast-food place to eat and invited her to join us or at least come in with us and I would buy her anything she liked. She simply muttered under her breath and walked away. Obviously she wanted the money for drugs, not food.
The best way to give to those on the streets is to give to a charity that directly supports them.
Your message is good; it is up to us to use our money wisely so as to give the best help.

I agree with Antony. We're too quickto avert our eyes from realities that we don' like.


Good write,

Rich

We are seemingly callused to these sights. Seeing people begging on every corner we get numb to the really needy. Some of them are too proud to beg on the corner. They are as much God's children as Jesus and we should be aware of their plight, but life has hardened our hearts. This should make them more visible to the eye. Good message, Anthony
