$50 a Month for Groceries
$50 Food Project- Emmaus
Jean-Marie Lee, Sketch, 2016
PLOGS BELOW (JML's Poetic Commentary)
Overlooked Needs
Causes of homelessness
Are of varying degrees
Locating a rooted problem
Pathologizing modern life
Humans' chronic needs
(including FOOD and SHELTER)
And the causes that be--
Tragedy--
Crime--
Abuse--
War--
Famine--
Economic hardship--
Natural disaster--
Death of breadwinner--
Distress--
Physical Illness--
Have you heard
A homeless person's
Story?--
To hear one--
To hear two--
You'll know
We are all
One step from
Heaven and Hell
Addiction is too easy-- guessing
Yet-- casting another aside
To arm your own pride
Laziness isn't sloth
If judgement comes
From your haste
Concluding one life
A waste of breath
Causing your own
Suffering to play
Victim to living folly
Then again--
We are all
One step from
Heaven and Hell
Thank you!!!
Emmaus for feeding
The Holy Family--
XOXO! JML
