SLEEPING OUTDOORS, OR IS IT 'OUT OF DOORS'?

 

It's getting sadder and badder in American when you walk to your usual morning bus stop to buy your usual groceries or whatever, and right across the road from the quiet place you live, you come upon two bodies (supposedly warm, but I didn't stop to check) of 2 men who had decidedly to make their 'bed' for the night or morning if you will (0830) in a concrete gulley in a fieldside tall grassy area near my abode. I, of course, gave them a wide berth and quietly walked around them, knowing what it is like to be homeless, I understand...you just sleep when you can and where you can. This is life in America as we are just beginning to know it. It's not just the men I'm concerned about. Women tend to get employment, however limited that may be, but I am thinking about the day when women seek to marry not for any love interest or even sexual needs, but simply put necessity, as in 'please take away my reproach.'  They become more vulnerable and terrified even in the sense of being totally strung out and so they will seek a respectable man to give them 'a name' if you will, protection, and food and shelter. God knows how many respectable and honorable men are still out there and will not take advantage of these people. We need camps, call them homeless camps if you want. To our county commissioners and authorities, governors, I say, for God's sake, mobilize the National Guard and do something 'right' about the homeless, and stop insisting homeless people attend stupid meetings to 'prove' their existence. While you hold your meetings they are sleeping because they only have a short time before they have to move again and find something to eat.
