Consideration
Of the poor means that
You have to give up
Your smart earned dollar
To all of those who
Can be selfish but
You can’t. For some strange
Reason, the ones that
Make less than the two
Dollar a day mark
Must be viewed as high
Priorities, based
On what? That they live
In worse conditions
Than you? That they don’t
Have enough to make
For themselves so they
Stretch their hands out to
Seek succor and alms?
The real poor are the
Ones who lack the thought
That rejects all of
The tripe about the
Poor. They’re humans, too.
They have come equipped
With the same thinking
Apparatus as
Anyone else in
The class structures of
The world. Does it give
You a profound and
Good feeling to help
Those less well off than
You? There is your fault.
To help the poor means
That you ought to find
No joy in your work
For the lower rungs
Of the ladder. “Give
‘Til it hurts” should be
Your mantra. So you
Don’t want to hurt, though?
Stop wallowing in
An unearned guilt. It
Benefits no one
When you consider
Others over your
Self. Let the good win.
