Oh, I planned to do that already, get several boxed sets of the books and give them to the church. What I would really like to do is rebuild the community center... Instead of some rundown shack where all these kids meet to socialise and do their homework and stay out of trouble... A modern building. Air conditioned for crying out loud. With classrooms maybe. A real kitchen instead of a sink and a microwave. The sort of kitchen that these kids and the church could use to feed the community. And a gym. Or something. A full sized basketball court. With seating for parents and the community. A place for kids to go to stay off of the streets and out of trouble. Maybe make something of themselves rather than be the next generation of prostitutes and meth addicts.
I promised a movie, drinks, and snacks. I must keep my word. These kids have had to many promises broken already in their lives. The way I see it, I could buy my self one stupidly expensive gun for Xmas like I usually do, or something to that effect, or I could make a whole crowd of kids happy.
The "civilised" people round these parts don't do to well to keep their promises. The mayor and the city council promised to revitalise this area years ago. It got him in to office. And not one damn thing has been done.
Civilisation can piss off.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
