Despair needs a new pair of shoes
And a warm bed.
A meal that wasn't discarded by someone else.
A hug versus a mere handout.

Take the damn picture, Dad!
When a photographer talks about the difficult subjects they've had to shoot in their career, if they fail to mention their own children (assuming they have some), they are lying chicken-shit cowards.

Facing conflict
Veterans to be and Veterans from days past.
On a day of celebration, their eyes tell a very different story.
Finally, a sad fact on top of it all:
One in four homeless people in America are veterans.
