Interview with a homeless

(notes)

In your mind, you would help that person on the street

In your mind, you would want to take that person to heaven with you

In reality, youre afraid his curse might infect you and you will keep on driving and will look the other way, guaranteed.

What is wrong, I asked

there is nothing wrong, He answered

(Then he said)

Is it normal to feel like I am the most important person in the world and at the same time I have nothing but my spirit

and I still think I am going to be a millionare

and I still think I am going to heaven

All I need is some idiot b******s to try to stop me and I will push them to hell.

We sit and tell ourselves that we care, we may entertain a thought or daydream of helping out, but the truth is that very few people actually give a s**t. It is human nature to be destructive. We are so numb and caught up in our own daily circles that we often forget to stop and actually take a look around. Anyone can hear a voice, cry, or song; but it takes a special kind of person to actually listen to it. Those people are often the cursed.

Wow, no argument there. I completely agree with your valuable interpretation, Thank you, RedInk524.

very well said, good job done on his :)

Um.... You posted this as a story yet there are several unneeded breaks, little detail, little needed punctuation and capitalization. Honestly this sounds more like a poem but even if it were the stanzas would be way to short and some lines way to long. I think you should really work to edit this, add detail, and correct sentences (grammar, punctuation, and capitals included). I liked the topic and how you said things that people will seldom admit.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you Hannavas R. for your valuable recommendations, will certainly work with those.

[SpeedyHobbit Armstrong]

A very fascinating read and excellent social commentary on the stigmatized homeless population and how others treat them with revuksion and fear rather than kindness

[SquinklaPsyOps]

Thank you Cher Armstrong, am certainly interested of what causes that.

Very interesting, compelling write that digs deep into the
psyche of humanity's consciousness. This is a very unique,
Well crafted piece you penned here. Thanks for sharing!

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

Intriguing and insightful. Whom we may see as hopeless are humans who still have their dreams. This is an important reminder. Well done.
