Hear Main Man Told Me Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

hear main man told me
your praying every time
when you kindness stop

to mow your neighbour’s
grass; give a few dollars
to a forgotten down and out

person bumming a few notes
in a walk past parking lot;
when you take time to passion

listen to any poor lost soul
with a fragmented life blown
apart; when you go donate

your life saving blood free in
your rush lunch hour; when
you stand up alone to defend

that human imperfect person
everyone else is running down;
hear main man also told me

your praying every single time
your heart is moved to take in
a stray homeless lost dog or cat
