Sometimes the best things happen when no one is watching or taking pictures.

A Good Deed

Seen a man, could be any man, as he watched a clerk take food from a woman trying to feed her children but not having enough money.

All watched silently until the man said put her food back, don't embarrass her, I will pay. The clerk put back the food and he paid. Then he was gone.

A man watched as a women entered a store with her children, went straight to the back of the store looking to see where the clerks were.

The man followed, instead of telling the clerks, gave the woman money asking her to get the children what they needed. Then he was gone.

Young punks harassed and picked on old people and little children. A
man appeared and ensured the punks did this no more. Then he was gone.


A Wonderful woman lie in a bed unable to move. A man appeared to help her move and straighten her bed and pillows. But he did not leave. He sat and talked with her not minding no reply reading or watching tv with her. Then she was gone.

Seen a man today, his shoulder's slumped, his head down, paying for food they could not. Then he was gone.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
