Clement, church father, explains existence of hunger. God promised hellfire to those who don’t feed the hungry. Our being in need makes it possible to see needs in others.

It might take some spiritual discipline, not to have your own need make you want to hold on more tightly to what you have.

Do you set your mind a-whirring with calculations when being asked to give, or worse, when observing a need?

So, we occasionally have some mice in the house (even though we have a cat). I've worked on plugging up holes, but some still get through. Rather than use poison, I trap them in Have-A-Heart traps, then release them miles away in rural areas. It's more work than just leaving out poison, but it keeps birds of prey (and our kitty) safe from being poisoned.

Ghazal: The Word Never Spoken

Forgive me, love, the word never spoken,
the explicit silence, implicit lie, all unspoken.

Forgive me the syllables of trespass left unspoken,
tongues of fire broken on the wheel of sighs.

Forgive me the come hithers to which I gave no reply,
the women I never kissed, poems I wrote on the sky.

Forgive me, love, the altar I built across your thighs,
the bibles of honey I burnt on the pyre.

Forgive me the holy names I did not blaspheme,
the god I left lonely in his cold machine.

Forgive me, love, the word never spoken,
the explicit silence, implicit lie, all unspoken.

I remember! I remember and ponder "battles won". Social progress is mostly full of two steps forward and one slip back. I am lucky and privileged. Reading and learning about social progress is heartening.

How about if these business owners remember that these "homeless" ARE THEM! It's their former neighbours, grocers, teachers, children - and their current community members and fellow human beings.

Homeless people are fucking people! They need somewhere to not freeze to death, just like you demand, in your vacant hotel.
