In the meanest time of summer when the sun cracks the pavement and swelter fills your lungs a call to the dispossessed is in order. Consider the river washers, and the alley dwellers who are simply thankful for today. Chew on a bitter piece of perspective and ask yourself; if you had to carry a cross to your own death would you complain about the heat?

A Question of Privilege
In the meanest time of summer when the sun cracks the pavement and swelter fills your lungs a call to the dispossessed is in order. Consider the river washers, and the alley dwellers who are simply thankful for today. Chew on a bitter piece of perspective and ask yourself; if you had to carry a cross to your own death would you complain about the heat?
