homelessness in America
their invisibility is our national shame

                                         'Ever hear of   "The Homeless Jesus?"  
                                                     It's this sculpture, above,

    and it's been causing quite a stir because it begs this very uncomfortable question:
if real living, homeless people are invisible to us, 
and clearly they are,
then why does this homeless statue upset so many of us?

the 'offensiveness' of this image is that it shouts a visual reminder 
that the talk is NOT walked ...
that hypocrisy is rampant in this beautiful land
stolen from its native inhabitants by long ago Christian ancestors

the answer may surprise you...  
Watch an eye-opening experiment in conscience...
