Mrs. Gabidar knew many people,
even strangers others gave a wide berth,
paid no heed or offered nothing to help,
homeless, helpless, hopeless, minds left feeble
in the wake of trauma or disaster,
street urchins left hungry, their parent's worth
transformed by the system, their children yelp,
ornery, rambunctious, worse than stray dogs,
people abused, in need of a pastor,
herd her flock to pasture, to graze the land,
end up tending a church of lost pilgrims,
lonely, solitary, without a hand,
everyone needs a helping hand, systems
suffer with the devil, turn men to logs.
