Hobos Rock
Posted by My Life
| Filed underIn my home, like many,
when someone creates a work of art, it is proudly displayed on the
fridge. Here is a drawing that I found displayed today. It is by my
ten year old brother.
In
case you can't read the messy handwriting, the caption states, "Hobos
rock," and it's of a homeless man (a very happy homeless man, I might
add) sitting amongst a pile of garbage, grinning at a caged duck. I
asked my brother what the duck was there for, and he said the homeless
man captured it for dinner, which is very crafty of this man, and I am
quite impressed by his duck-capturing skills.
Now I don't know if this drawing was inspired by my earlier blog post called "The Hungry, The Thirsty," which I basically wrote about showing love to homeless people, but if it was inspired by that, I'm not sure if the tone expressed by Luke's drawing is exactly what I meant. Maybe this drawing was inspired by my open enthusiasm for helping the needy... Luke experiences this exuberance every day. Honestly, I don't know what caused this drawing. And honestly, I'm not sure exactly what to think about it.
The picture is kind of running low on political correctness, but at least it says that hobos rock. I just don't know. At least he gave the whole, "love everybody, even homeless people," idea a decent try.
Another
thing that baffles me is the great detail gone into the making of this
man. Notice his long, stringy mullet... the patches on his clothing...
he even looks like he has cloths or something wrapped around his feet-
either that, or the toes of his shoes have holes in them. He also has
some scruff on that chin of his, and he seems to be quite jolly despite
all of the smelly rubbish scattered around him. Maybe because he
captured the duck.Now I don't know if this drawing was inspired by my earlier blog post called "The Hungry, The Thirsty," which I basically wrote about showing love to homeless people, but if it was inspired by that, I'm not sure if the tone expressed by Luke's drawing is exactly what I meant.

I really don't know whether to congratulate my brother for being open to all people, or scold him for being insensitive. I just don't know. All I know is that I had to share this drawing, and let you into the mind of Luke.
Sometimes this child worries me.
