Poem

Compassion
upholding helpfulness 
toward better lives…
Such is the seed embedded along plots
of noble charitable institutions
to bloom along their vision-mission-goals
as well as to blossom 
like flowers beautifying communities
then producing laudable fruits 
effectively becoming assets and blessings, too.

Such is the ideal
and the supposed-to-be anchor
bracing up foundations 
funded by philanthropists and caring people 
in their love-geared motive.
God be thanked for them
May they be blessed to do and increase more---

Yet in the cloak of kindness
adorned with heavenly promises
varied helping organizations sprout
offering poverty-alleviation schemes
toward financial freedom
along gentle persuasion
of "good faith" exercise---

Yes, in the name of wholehearted contributions
they pursue outreach programs
grant scholarships and medical assistance
but with vested interests
verily undeniable---

Can we forbid the proliferation
of life-building ventures 
with hidden agenda
lurking in the guise of charity???

May the Lord help* us be a real help to others!

*Psalm 33:20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
