No Man's Land

I didn't know a "no-man's land" existed in Hawaii. On the west coast of Oahu, there are many homeless people who live in "the bushes" with animals like pigs, chickens, and barking dogs. It was in the paper today.

I visted a homeless shelter once, for a community service project, and saw the uncertainty and poverty that each of the families had to face everyday. They lived in homes made out of 6 foot by 6 foot carboard, out of material that you would use for a science project. The shampoo bottles and bedsheets sat on the walls, as much as a storage space as protection.

Those that lived in the no man's land...it didn't sound all that bad. It's carefree, with no regulations and you get to be one with nature. I'm pretty sure they, or at least some of them, are thinking the same thing. You wake up everyday to no school, no homework, no exams. I wonder...
