Psalm for Distribution

Lord,
On 8th Street
Between 6th Avenue and Broadway
In Greenwich Village
There are enough shoe stores
With enough shoes
To make me wonder
Where there are shoeless people
On the earth.
Lord,
You have to fire the Angel
in charge of distribution.

Jack Agueros

There are so many ways the government can help its people
and it makes me wonder
why some people are left without help

On The Road...

Last week we headed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to interview people on their thoughts about the justice system. Why Philadelphia? Because some of the most patriotic symbols of liberty is in Philadelphia. The Liberty bell and independence hall all symbolize one side of the justice system that does not apply to all in the justice system.
