Description
On mattresses of silk,And pillows made of cloud
We'll sleep like kings
With commoners all around
-------------------------------
So I've just moved into my new accomodation at uni, a rented house with six other people. We live right next to a park which is quite small really, but with character. About four homeless people take up residence there quite regularly, and they were doing pretty well for their situation. There was a mattress and a duvet amongst the bushes, and the park was secluded enough to not cause people discomfort or trouble. I never felt like I wanted them to go, they made the area more real and not hidden from the obvious troubles in our society. Sadly though police come and make them leave like they always do and although the guys usually come back, this time I haven't seen them for a while and somone has taken their mattress. I miss them.

man, dont you hate it when that happens? Whenever I speak to a "bum =/" I recall the song Mr. Wendal by Arrested Development
Mr.Wendal has freedom,
a free that you and I think is dumb
Free to be without the worries of a quick to thiss society
for Mr.Wendal's a bum
His only worries are sickness
and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase
Uncivilized we call him,
but I just saw him eat off the food we waste
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ?
Who are we to judge ?
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslavedand killed over a racist grudge
Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
but we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far,
and we got too far, cause on him we walk
Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh, but not by law
I feed you dignity to stand with pride,
realize that all in all you stand tall
I can really feel your emotions whiel taken the shot, I hope they come back
