The Miserable Ones (David Glenn Cox)

David Glenn Cox -- World News Trust

Aug. 29, 2011 -- I’m going to tell you a story today, it’s a story about you and me and it’s a story about a father and son.

In a larger sense it’s a story about America because a story like this only happens in America. I doubt that it happens even in Third World countries but it might happen in places like India where people live in wretched poverty, and it might happen during times of war or famine, but this is America, isn’t it?

On July 11, an 11-year-old boy awoke from his bed to find that his father was gone. The boy found two notes left behind, the first instructed the boy to take his play station and go to the neighbor’s house. The second note asked the neighbors to take his son in because the father was no longer financially able to care for his son.

The note to the neighbors explained that the father was unable to find work and that their home was about to be foreclosed and they would be homeless. I say that it is a story about America because most governments wouldn’t allow their people to become so degraded, or as my mother used to say, “Good jobs make nice neighbors,” or maybe in the current vernacular, "When you treat people like sh*t they act like sh*t."
