Food for our Life

Grits and Oranges-

Stuck in a homeless world you have to wonder on the day to day bases. What are you eating tonight? The city and local charities fight to get all vitamins in you on a daily bases. Thinking about what to eat should never be the worry. I was at this one shelter through pandemic times, actually a little after. I got served an normal, but unusual dish like you wouldn't believe. It was breakfast time in Pittsburgh the place would prefer to stay anonymous. I had just turned Twenty-Eight and could not believe that the girl was getting back with could leave me on the street. She said there was an emergency, than when I got there she had left with her ma to go to another part of America. Shocks me still to this day. As the saying goes "Back to the Grits."
