...with or without our approval. Our failure to acknowledge their humanity is expressed in the metaphorical baptism in the city aqueduct.

"He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights-up a butt and he takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first
and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass

You got a one way ticket to the Promised Land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleepin' on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct"
