Keeping Promises

Audio Recordings, News / tagged Deportataion, Homelessness, Politics / June 6, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

On the outskirts of every agony
sits some observant fellow who points - Virginia Woolf

Easy to bring housing prices down

Just deport 10 million people
and create some vacancies

They may needd some jail cells on the way
just let the treasoners out
and create some vacancies

Granola Grenades for Gandhi

Audio Recordings / tagged Charity, Compassion, Homelessness, Poverty / October 26, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

“Even God himself dare not appear to a
starving man, except in the form of bread”
- Mohandas Gandhi
So many fellow women and men today
down at the corner of have and have not
signs asking for a little of what we’ve got
I’m a hungry homeless vet
They repoed my Lear Jet
Remembering the words of Gandhi
I’ll give them what they really need
and wrap folding money around a bar
to fit in your hand and throw pretty far
If they don’t like granola, that’s okay
Carnivores can afford to attack a Big Mac
and the thirsty are halfway to a six pack
