Does Anybody Really Care

Will you tell me please, if you dare? Does anybody really care? We say that we do, show remorse; For thoughts from our peers-stay the course. We say not, but it is still greed. Is this thinking of the same seed? Donate to charities and such, Mindful not to give each too much. Pass by people holding their sign, Thinking, "My money is all mine." Never knowing the how or why, Or seeing the tear they never cry. Assuming they are capable Of putting food on the table. Most can, but some simply can not. Lost demons, of which were fought. We use the word of the same name, Playing our hand of the greed game. Can, or will not look in the eye; Stay busy, until we pass by. For our own greed, we question theirs; Proving- Nobody really cares.

Like most walks of life there is always con artists, some indeed are genuine beggars but for others it’s a lifestyle, how do we tell them apart, by consistency a true beggar will normally stop when they have enough, the con artist no matter how much they get, keep on begging for more. thought provoking write Julie, cheers David
