community insurance agent

rescues from long walks
to places people don’t go.
some people, people love to
live in nice houses in the cities.
where alcohol is an aperitif
in a good life
not the life itself.

sharing wealth in droves
where driving is as rare as serious nutrition
a  little conceded way to feel good
but to pass on to these
wanderers. street walkers.
bus takers. heroin injectors.
garbage surfers.
where income normally comes
as a government payment.

straightening of minds.
this ignorance of many must be cured
and so, we chip away.
simply like a blade on soft wood
shave off the attitudes that are
moulding our society.
in places that we need to group all
their potential energy.

fearless in the face of everything else
it needs to be,
this community insurance.
change, political affiliations,
button bags, blogs, endless bickering,
defense mechanisms challenged,
lost hopes, tears, commitment,
a belief that right will finally
be victorious over injustice.
for so many who need it
I’ll try to help.
