"Did you know? Jesus can come in the image of a bum."

A few years ago, a man was begging outside of a walmart. "Need $ for a cheeseburger. Please help. I have not eaten in days."

I ignored him. Like everyone, I figured "probably will use it for drugs/booze." I waited inside the Mickey D's, waiting for my mother. Wen to the restroom, came back. There she was, and in the corner, the bum. He was eating. My mother had given him $.

I felt ashamed. I didn't treat my brother as an equal. T_T

jesus just wanted to show u something my brother and u felt something better than feeling nothing. life is learning peace

He has such a beautiful face; talking about such a dreadful event.

Just saw this guy on a tv documentary about the breaking of the levees, he was doing a rap kind of thing and I really liked him, what he was doing, saying.

Shelton's lyrics from the half way point in this video are beyond to the end are HUGELY powerful. It's ashame that HBO cut off so much of his rap cause in it's entirety is moving. Indeed Jesus had his back and those he saved. I wish I could find a good quality video on just he's poem, all of it! Thank you for this video and God Bless You Shelton!

Powerful clip; I really enjoyed his poetry in "When The Levees Broke".  May the gulf coast continue to rebuild.
