Poor people deserve the right to be happy and healthy. Those two commodities should not be reserved for people with money and power. If I'm sick, I should receive care. If I'm hungry, I should be fed. If I'm naked, I should be clothed. If I'm grieving, I should be comforted. Sound familiar?
Saint Marty is just giving you some beattitude tonight.
The Poor Man Dreams
by: Arthur Rimbaud
Perhaps an Evening awaits me
when I shall drink in peace in some old Town,
and die the happier: since I am patient!
If my pain submits, if I ever have any gold,
shall I choose the North or the Country of Vines? …
- Oh! It is shameful to dream - since it is pure loss!
And if I become once more the old traveler,
never can the green inn be open to me again.
We could use a lot more of Mother Teresa's spirit in the world. I can think of a president who needs to have his ass haunted by her.
