Homeless Camp Conversation 1
Written by Chris Scott Fieselman
We welcome with Open Arms.Strangers from other nations.While we hurt and we harm.Our own homeless population.Ready to get rid of another homeless camp?And just where do you intend to put them?Such a repetitive situation…
I’m just so damn tired and I can’t just stand by.And simply try to be silent and patient.Because… “Justice for All”Is not just a statement,Of an Out-Dated,Over-Rated,Recommendation.Too easy for the people,In power to simply,Leave out of the Equation. Homeless Camps are a Blatant, Vagrant, Infestation,Of an Endless, Pan-Handler, Beggar, Invasion.The source of such Frustration,And so much Aggravation.Where those who know only,Lonely Desperation and Isolation,Are trapped in a Melting-Pot of,Drugs, Dire-Straits and Desperation.They deserve Extermination and Eradication.The matter is considered closed,And not open to arbitration,End of Conversation…
Homeless Camp Conversation 2
Written by Chris Scott Fieselman
And… So it begins with an Informal,In-Depth Investigation.After all… They’re City Government,They don’t need an Invitation.Do you want to know who’s living there?Start giving out Tickets and Warning Citations.And informing them that all of their,Personal Possessions will be Subject to Confiscation.When the time comes to finally,Address the Mess and limit access to this location.So now is the time to make preparation,To find another somewhat, safe destination.Because no Government Official,Wants their local constituents,Complaining they’re being Complacent.Yes… Housing is a Human Right,But Survival’s a Violation.Garbage Collection and Sanitation,Should be addressed regularly,Not just on occasion.If the goal is supposed to be Co-Habitation,Why such a One-Sided Conversation? Eagles Nest

I’ve lived among the ones,With nothing left to lose.Not because of what they’ve done.Not the life they choose.Nowhere left to run,And don’t know what to do.Can’t get out from under it,Wondering what’s the use? They need an Eagles Nest.Find peace and find some rest.The helpless and the homeless,Need a place to lay their heads.Shelter from the storm,Somewhere safe, someplace warm.Is that too much to ask?They need an Eagles Nest. Now you can say, “It’s not my problem.”Leave it for someone else.The lost and the forgotten,That cannot help themselves.It’s not about a handout,It’s a hand up, for those who’ve fell.Society, inevitably, will benefit as well.
