Kidnap Them

kidnap them
mother child
veteran teen
grandmother junkie
kidnap them
of course willingly
someone homeless
could be me

kidnap them
fragrant bath
castile soap
mint shampoo
soak and soak
hot water gone
yes willingly
could be me or you

kidnap them
open closet
choose anything
serving leisurely
gourmet meal
heaped high 
yes willingly
helping them

kidnap them
private room
crisp sheets
warm blanket.
cup of tea
book and music
yes willingly
read to them

kidnap them
serving them
giving to them
looking around
what's been done
in helping them
yes willingly
someone homeless.
