We’ve all seen “Them.” Some look ragged. Some look confused. Some talk to themselves. Some are asleep on the cold sidewalk. Some yell at anyone who attempts to engage them in conversation. Many have emotional and mental challenges beyond our comprehension.
Some push their worldly belongings in their grocery cart. Everything they own. In a grocery cart. Most don’t iron their clothes, or even wash them regularly. If you have spent time in the downtown area of Colorado Springs, you have seen them. You probably avoided making eye contact and might have even crossed the street just to stay clear of them.
