December Issue

Posted on December 7, 2011 by atlantaoverlook

Decem­ber Pics!

This issue is on the streets of Atlanta now; below are some snip­pets from arti­cles in the lat­est issue:

Are The Home­less “Less”?
DIXIE SCOTT,
For­merly Home­less Writer

Not all home­less are crim­i­nals and come from bad back­grounds.  I had gone to col­lege and got­ten a music degree .… A lot of the home­less on the streets were pre­vi­ously hard work­ers, had col­lege degrees, and were even Pro­fes­sors at colleges …

Spir­i­tual Songs
RICHARD D. PARKAM, JR.,
“I’m Just a Voice” Writer

The time has come for us to hymn spir­i­tual songs …
A man finds him­self:  mind, body, and soul; will even­tu­ally define him­self:  mind, body, and soul…

The We Peo­ple
SERONA GILBERT,
Home­less Writer

Yes.  There must be a bet­ter way.  As cold sets in and Christ­mas on the way, the day of our Father’s birth, we the peo­ple are still happy that we never for­get where we come from and pray that we can have a bet­ter day…

To read the arti­cles in their entirety, please buy a copy of the paper from a badged ven­dor or sub­scribe.

November Issue

Posted on November 16, 2011 by atlantaoverlook

Novem­ber Issue is on the streets now.  Below are some snip­pets from that, our best issue yet:

A Night in the Life
IVAN COOLEY,
Home­less Poet

Cold Octo­ber night
Misty pre­cip­i­ta­tion
Side of frus­tra­tion
Side of elation

Cold Novem­ber night
Misty pre­cip­i­ta­tion
No where to go
Pos­i­tive side of frus­tra­tion
No sus­te­nance pro­vided
Stom­ach is des­o­late
Leads to con­tem­pla­tion … [for the com­plete poem please buy this edi­tion from a badged ven­dor or sub­scribe.]

Rest in Par­adise, Troy Davis
RICHARD D. PARKAM, JR.,
“I’m Just a Voice” Writer

…to me, his name stand for a lot … his story and con­vic­tion val­ued
to me more than gold; the exam­ple of his life makes me thank think­ing twice about the piece of my life; his was taken so eas­ily and lightly; but grounded me so deeply on spir­i­tual food; damn, that could’ve been me or you; to the reader, who is con­scious as myself; polit­i­cal and spir­i­tual; morals and cre­den­tials of a man is form­less, no respect; to me, shore or quick sand; pre­cip­i­tat­ing bad influ­ences are ruin­ing to soil; free­dom was sac­ri­ficed by great exam­ples: Jesus, Mar­tin Luther King, Jr., Ghandi; and now Troy Davis; mar­tyr­dom must be bestowed upon his soul; mar– tyr­dom and Chris­tian­dom are clar­i­ties given by sac­ri­fice for the sake of human­ity; blood given freely; either by choice or force; wis­dom doesn’t belong to wary lead­ers in posi­tions of power, because under­stand­ing
of God knows char­ity; it will always pre­vail; the peo­ple, cit­i­zens of the world know that com­pas­sion and mercy could’ve been bestowed upon Troy Davis’ life .… [for the whole prose piece please buy from a badged ven­dor or sub­scribe.]
