Help the Needy

Help the Needy

By Elton Camp

You see them standing outside the door
Often at your favorite Wal-Mart store

Donations they ask that you give 
So others a better life can live

Cancer fund, heart fund all are there
In the hope that customers will care

But the last time I went there to shop
The fund raising made my jaw drop

It was for Wal-Mart employees in need
Low wages created by corporate greed
