She wasn't onboard. And - she's usually more hardcore than I am on stuff like this.
So ... I thought about it. And ... upon considerable reflection it seemed unChristian.
As in, I don't think Jesus would approve of me fucking up the shelter of someone poor addict in dire straits.
there was a homeless guy camping in the woods behind us
I was like, if he takes an inch, he will take a mile
but when I went down there to confront him, it was just a sad wretch of a man
so I just said, I'll give you a hundred dollars to move your camp out of here
if you come back a second time, I will have to call the Constable
but he never came back, he honoured the contract
We on the same wavelength.
we made up care packages, things to make their lives easier on the street
they had drug problems, they had drinking problems
but they all pretty similar stories
they didn't start out like this, they used to be regular guys
but then they lost their jobs, lost their wives, lost their kids, and ended up broke on the streets
I still patrol the area for my neighbours, I am the neighbourhood watch, up at all hours
but if it's just a homeless man down on his luck, I will resort to bribery first
if he doesn't honour the contract, that's on him, summon the Constable
