You Wanted To Know....

the starving child you saw on your tv screen, the one that made you turn the channel. the old homeless man who tried to bum a dollar when you were pumping gas... whose hands were shaking, who smelled like trash, who you made fun of when you left... the one you gave 50 cents to, just to get away from... the young painted up girl you called a whore, the guy strung out on pills buying groceries with food stamps... the veteran who came home to find his family gone.... no job, no home, he blew his brains out! the gay boy who slit his wrists, tired of being bullied. the old couple evicted broke and sick.... the bodies of women and children killed by the drones, the young man in prison who just got gang raped. the disabled woman you cursed when she made your change, the old man buying dog food who doesnt have a dog... well, you wanted to know what god looks like!
