A Samaritans Elegy

Samaritan’s everywhere in
lamented accord o’er the wearisome daz
never thought before on commending words from
any of praise only the needy passed their door these daz
sometimes the greedy came looking for more and yet always
found kindness freely and more mostly given to deprived lacking
and poor who gave their pledge to our wonderful Lord left behind
crumbs of God’s canting prayer never thoughts of leaving idle
facades around there pleasurable mannered souls delighted
in giving never pursuing dreary ways wicked aware
how chances of sin may follow their living
yet greedy misgivings of their
love was wrought and I
do attest at only a quarter cent given
or lost bridge and street folks wandered in lore
faces full of scanting not knowing the whole how the
wealth of such giving had fled and more while securities
short cut at the Missions door Samaritan poor was found
nearly dead and bent all curled in shock o’er lying floor
and doctors donated it to some bipolar menial disorder
while clergy lamented sore in sorrows mortal street
and bridges may well be clay but he did live
times and more and should have had a
time more shant today if only
to say how he’d wished
he gave more.
