The Church Yard Round Around

The Church Yard Round Around

Aggression is the easy vibe
When homeless camp on the parish lawn,
How can compassion be applied?

One keeps his bags by the drain pipe,
They come and go but they’re never gone,
Aggression is the easy vibe

The shelters wake them after five,
Quick showers then they must be gone,
How can compassion be applied?

Five vodka bottles I found hid,
Ah needle too, five inches long,
Aggression is the easy vibe

No loitering signs have arrived,
Now police can move them on,
How can compassion be applied?

My children ask when we drive by,
These people make the church their home?
Aggression is the easy vibe

I want to help but more arrive,
It torments me deep in my bones,
How can compassion be applied?

He wandered with a homeless tribe,
Who would drive off an orphaned lamb?
Aggression is the easy vibe,
How can compassion be applied?
