I Had It All…

I talked with a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.

He said, “Until a few months ago, I still had it all.

I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed,

I had a roof over my head,

I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library.

I was working on my MBA on-line.

I had no bills and no debt.

I even had full medical benefits coverage.

I even got vaccinated before other more deserving groups.

I felt sorry for him, so I asked, “What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?”
Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. “

“Because of Coronavirus, I was unexpectedly paroled.”
