Ain’t he strange?</div><div>Look at that. Thin as a page.</div><div>Where does he live? Do you know?</div><div>No. Wait. Stop. Be quiet ‘till he goes.</div><div> </div><div>Is he gone now? Yeah. But his steps are slow.</div><div>I guess there’s no hurry to get home to the rats and the crows.</div><div>Or the dusty floorboard that he calls a bed.</div><div>Yeah, but he’s got all the room in the world to rest his head.”</div><div> </div><div>That’s true. I do. And I sleep to dream.</div><div>The unconscious mind is more real than it seems.</div><div>In here my hope is real.</div><div>And I don’t worry about those who kill or steal.</div><div> </div><div>So, I’m comfortable here on my own two feet.</div><div>Later tonight God and I will finally meet.</div><div>And the world will be quiet except for the cheers;</div><div>Nations of people without pain or fear.</div><div> </div><div>A world full of hope and eyes open wide</div><div>Where hatred and bigotry can no longer hide.</div><div>And hands of every color take hold of each other</div><div>And every woman is respected as a sister or a mother.</div><div> </div><div>So, I’m closing my eyes to finally see</div><div>A brand new world where every human being is free.</div><div>And the only thing I’ll need when I walk down the street</div><div>Are my two empty pockets and my own two feet.</div><div><br></div><div>———————————————-</div><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
