Be That Man

Will you help the child That has fallen on the road, That has given up? Reached their defeated mode? Will you help the girl With tainted garments With no way to catch The flow from her bodily functions? Will you stop to help The little lost boy, Who suffers from his parent's mistakes, From decisions which he did not make? Though good deed Are nothing but rags And do not admit you Into the reserved riches of after-life Will you be the man Who knows the time and when To bless the lives of others That can do not a thing In exchange for them?

Not everything we do in life will reap monetary reward. Just the personal satisfaction we get when we help others is enough. Good write.
