Looking for a Handout

crease along the shoulder
nazi bullet did that
i was a fighter then
ole hitler and his friends
got the best of my juice
now I’m 52 and just a wino
looking for welfare
ain’t it the truth buddy
ain’t it the truth

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
