Street Roots • June 22-28, 2018 Street Poetry Page 11 Peace and ... by Daniel Cox Silence as a tomb. So quiet It roars. Not a sound could be Heard. Nothing to disturb the Peace. Forgotten by Jacob C.S. Pride 2018 Street Roots’ vendors, staff, volunteers and friends marched in Portland’s Pride Parade on Sunday, June 17.

The lost and the forgotten are usually in today’s times those who sleep outside. The reason I say this is for one simple reason. It’s because those who start problems are commonly never there in the first place. Also towards those who bomb up spots that those use to ask for money or camp at. There will always be one person that does both of those things. P H O TO S B Y CO LE M E R K E L SISTERS OFTHE ROAD XX X MEAL COUPONS $2.00 / EACH A Loving way to respond to panhandling!
