Respect and Solidarity

My erstwhile haunted house has become a thriving creative community of people who pay for the privilege, thereby paying the mortgage and letting me stay here (the ghosts seem cool with this).

Respect and Solidarity

None of us has any money but
We share what we have no matter what
Through thick and thin times (more thin than thick)
Our cooperation does the trick
As in our daily lives we elect
To practice our mutual respect
By looking after one another
Friend and sister to friend and brother

None of us has any money though
We have what it takes to make a go
Of living together and living well
At Studio Lance where the old bronze bell
Rings for respect and solidarity

When I come to die: ring that bell for me

If the ghosts are "cool with it," you know you have done the right thing, Stevie (LOL). Seriously, it seems like a good situation and I am happy for you. Love and peace,

Regis

I won't wait on such a sad day. I will ring the bell for you now while you can share in it's glory. DING!
God Bless,
Lew

Right on comrade Lance, mayhap if I precede you, you will do me the honor of ringing the bell and reading one of yours and one of my poems as our farewell voice.

Sounds great! Speaking of haunted, I'm reading a book called "Haunted America". Great read.
