The rain of life

Into every life a little rain must fall
Into every addicted person's life
A craving so great takes over
And begging might become a way of life
The down and out are just that
Down and out...and many of them
Are out there with their hands out too
Missionaries are clever when they have
Their hands out...they wave the God flag
Why do they think we care?
I wonder if they even see faces
They become so desperate they just ask
And when they get what they want, fine
When they don't, they might become
Even more desperate
A man I met doing twenty-five to life
Said to me, "Some people who feel hopeless
Can be very dangerous." Amen...Pass the plate.
