Excellent. There is a great song by a country band called Emerson Drive that you would love to hear called, "Moments." It inspired the childrens novel I wrote which is about homelessness. People do judge, it's true, and so sad, because what most people don't realize is that they are one small tragedy away from being there themselves. So good to read a well-written, intelligent poem like this.

Nicely done, Mr. Rogers. This calls attention to an ongoing situation. Some are needy and worthy of our charitable efforts, however far too many of them are just lazy and take advantage of them. The latter make it difficult to be charitable to the former. I will say, however that at the very least when you give it directly to them you know that they are getting it. When you funnel it through a charity very often only a small percentage of it makes it through the bureaucracy. Nicely penned, thanks Dick
