Dig in those pockets on a rainy day
the rain collected in puddles
charitable thoughts all muddled

Dig those grimy fingers in
those ring laden ones
ones that snap at corporate scams
cling to stocks on subway trams
sinewy, manicured
personal tastes epicured.


Fingers can sense what coins to give
compassion gets to ones that live
flooded Asian needs are on the line
generous hypocrites can spare some dimes


There's no blood drive at the office today
few dimes amassed in tremendous give away
demonstrative of a still human race
alms collected from your own pocket space.

Sad but true write ecrivan.
We need to dig really deep and give what we know we can. Let's not wait for the "uppity ups" .... let's just "give."

This sad indeed.
We always make sure to donate to help those
in need.

Thank-you for the reminder Martin.

:-)

Within this heart you'll find love
