If Vermont can’t provide for the homeless, then the state of Vermont should invest in the invention of solar powered heated space suits for unsheltered Vermonters to live in until they can find jobs and homes.

I just emailed them and haven’t gotten a response yet,
I was looking at NASA type grants.
Of course, I’m not an engineer,
I’m just poking around to see if there is a grant
a real engineer could do something with.
You can ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars,
$$$$$$$$$$ don’t be shy.
I’m thinking of a suit with GPS and wifi built in the sleeve
and of course mini solar panels all over to provide
heat and cooling in summer.
You might think about taking a person’s eye photo
and cheek swab for identification to discourage
them from selling their live-in-suit.
A backpack could hold a small light weight tent for privacy.
What about designating all lawns in front of public
buildings for sleeping areas at night?
I am working on trying to write a song for the homeless
but it’s coming out really depressing so far.
We might have another night of below zero temperature.
The first problem is that I have two original melodies in
mind and I am trying to merge them.
The second problem is, how do you make a song about
a sad idea at least a little optimistic and cheerful?
Well, maybe I’ll have it in a few days. Here is what
I have so far for words:
Unfinished Song For Homeless Unsheltered People In Vermont 2025
I never believed he would be sleeping on a park bench at night
but he lost his job and couldn’t pay rent and money got so tight.
A ragged puppy left on the roadside to die
ran after him and begged to be snuggled so he could survive
with the warmth of the fellow being and the will to go on.
Other homeless people surrounded them in the park at night,
they stuck together, their hearts were knitted forever
with compassion and hope everlasting, they nodded
good night to each other, praying for the
next day to come true.
And in the morning they folded their things and
packed up their knapsacks, and showed each other the way
to where places gave homeless people sandwiches and snacks.
The puppy wagged its tail and the man gave him half his food,
now they were partners, no longer alone, they felt happy
that other people they had never known cared to feed them.
Then one long harsh night in Vermont the temperatures dropped
below zero and some homeless women and children cried
but their tears froze right on their eyelids and the man
felt his puppy weakening, they really hadn’t had enough to eat,
he had given his day shelter orange to a little girl who now
thought he was her whole world,
but when an inch of snow piled up on his face
he just slipped away, he was gone forever,
not just for a day. Forget his name, forget his face,
forget the way he was once part of the human race.
CHORUS:
When you die you go back where you came from,
that’s the only answer I know,
from a vanishing point in the distance,’
to a place without time in the snow.
You go back where you came from without us,
’cause we left you to die on your own
in the frozen night without warmth,
you let God know our hearts had grown cold.
