More
Than Our Share
out of ghettos, comes the truth
with paupers sent to save
the world from all its evils
which makes each man a slave;
a slave to what he longs for
to all that’s bought and sold
lifetimes spent amassing wealth
collecting jewels and gold
forgetting what he came for
his brothers bent in need
searching for some kindness
at least a gentle deed
but wealth is tough to part with
compassion’s just as rare
some say, “God didn’t give enough!”
He did, but we don’t share. |
