Good Evening;
Another newspaper editorial/story trawled from the net,
via invisiblepeople.tv, by way of Facebook;
go to NEWS tab and click on (or 'search')
"America's Next Homeless Star"
(by Dave Bow)
That's Portland, Oregon by the way.
After you read that story....read;
"Death Behind A Dumpster"
by Sarah Mirk
on the same website.
For every 'feel good' story, how many unnoticed,
unmourned souls are quietly buried?
For every shining star streaking through the media's heavens.....
How many end up trapped beyond the event horizon of a black hole
in anonymous despair and a lonely death?
Later..................Dave
P.S.
I learned that Portland has the highest per-capita rate
of homelessness in the United States.
I would never have even considered Portland if asked,
figuring more like somewhere in South Florida, California, or N.Y.C.
as the leading places.
