Very good shot.
Very toughing about.
See them every day, but little to no thought is given to such people.

Very tragic. A good documentary, Rick.

DAWN WILL BREAK

The dawn will break,--so long the world has waited,
So slow to learn the way of highest good!
So slow to get the Golden Rule translated
In terms of love and blessed brotherhood!

The dawn will break,--'preferring one another--'
And 'As ye would that men should do to you--'
We do not understand them--and our brother
Walks aimlessly, and never finds life's clue.

The dawn will break,--when shall our hearts be caring
That babes are born with not a shred to wear;
That countless mothers, heavy burdens bearing,
Need everything--and weep in blank despair?

The dawn will break,--some day we will awaken
And say of miseries, 'They shall not be!'
We are our brothers' keepers--they, forsaken,
Shall all be clothed and fed, made glad and free!

Thanks Guy, its major upsetting. Los Angeles needs to address the issue NOW. These people need shelter and comfort. Right now only people on skid row are getting it and that is not fair to the the rest of the hundreds of homeless.

And we walk by thinking about the renovations to the master bathroom with the jacuzzi tub... We need to stop and take a reality check every know and then. Great documentary shot my friend and thanks for the wake-up call!

Triste e impactante imagen, crudo documento de una realidad que hay que erradicar: No más pobres en el mundo!

Un abrazo
