Adrift

A homeless man adrift In his dreams on the Santa Monica Beach. The world is becoming more divided than ever. Behind me was some of the most expensive beach front property in the world. In front of me was a homeless man looking for a comfortable spot to lie down. Oxfam just released the latest stats, 26 billionaires has as much wealth as the poorest 1/2 of the world population. The serenity of the sleeping man is like the calm before a tsunami of global unrest is about to be unleashed.
