PDX Street (sex, drugs)

A fine day to be walking down the streets of the neighborhood that you are living in.

A fine time to show the family the beauty of your home town and the place you are raising your family.

What is that I see a person with a tube and foil and then as i keep walking i see it all. Everything is out in the open and being smoked and thrown and said and shown.

What will i do to protect my family? What is the idea of homeless?

What has this city come to? What will i do to change what i am being subgected to?

I want to love this life and the fellow people that i am surrounded with but how can i do that when i am trying so hard to get my life together at the same time?

LISTEN:

I sit here in a home that throws air and water or heat and food at me constantly. I love the amenities of having my own home and a place to live. Truth is that i once didnt have a home or a place to live.

When i was living in my car in california it was not because of drugs but after living in portland i can see whay drugs have had a huge impact on our city in a large way.

I didnt have to deal with weather changes in california and here we do have worry about that.

Drugs have been a stability for most people on the street and the thought of giving it up is scarey and we need to find a way to provide a community of housing and sobriety.

Not sober living. We need a community of sobriety to teach those not to smash eachother down.

I have a plan and i want to work to bring sobriety and quality of life to those we are sharing a community of life with.

Can we support eachother in portland ???
