This is about hobos. My mom said it was very cliche and disconnected. I'm 14. What do YOU think? Please be honest. Harsh, even. TELL ALL. Also, what should I call it? Pennies on the track? Gum on a sidewalk? Thanks for your time.

Here it is:
You sit on the sidewalk, reflecting in your isolation
People toss pennies on the tracks
They flatten out, and small children are amused
Oh how you wish that they were yours.
Not a glance comes your way as your heart begins to ache
Excruciating pain, and nobody can see
You grip your chest with weathered hands
But still it does not ease
And people pass and laugh and joke
But you are left unnoticed
Like a discolored peice of gum on that sidewalk
People walk over you
And They simply think you're gross
The cardboard signs, the rotten meals
But still you have your tears
And you are human just like them
But all they see is grime
All they see is broken bones and hopelessness and stubble
Eye contact is something unspoken of

My son wants to learn how to draw Naruto characters and other anime characters. Do you know if they sell how-to drawing books in comic book stores? If not, where can I find them?

My favorite is Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Her art runs the gamut of human emotions. She puts both the light side of life and the dark side of life on equal footing.

How does Billy Colman mature? He seems like such a cry-baby most of the time and doesn't seem to mature much. But when he is hunting and loses Old Dan and Little Ann, how does he mature then?

Is what we want so badly, already within the reach of our hands, and all that is needed is recognition of the passion to grasp it, or is it hidden and locked away in life's futures?

He didn't invent evil. So that he is dead? What difference does it make when I live in a humanity that never learns the hard lessons of history and is armed with nuclear weapons ready to create a conflagation that will make World War II, and its Holocaust, look like some ridiculous picnic? I fear this humanity. Feedback, please.

I don't think so. He was having problems with Congress, foreign affairs, especially Vietnam and China, were a challenging dilemma, and some in Congress were hearing rumours of his strange affairs with some women includng a German spy from the German Democratic Republic, now defunct and united to the Federal Republic of Germany. Had he lived, his presidency may have ended in shambles. What can you say?
