In This Case the Amount of Zeros Dont Amount
In this particular scenario or case
The actual amount of Zeroes
You place or add on the end
Does not represent it's actual
Real value or true worth
Because the difference being is this
Although I may have only been able
To contribute $ 1 Dollar
It's a $ 1 Dollar I can barely afford
And may equate and come at the cost
Of me stealing a meal out my child's mouth
Far more than I can afford to give
Whereas your large contribution
Of $ 10 k plus Dollar's
To you isn't even pocket change
Whereas you on the other hand
Tomorrow will be front page news
Having your picture taken
Handing over that Cheque
I read over someone else's shoulder
Because I can't afford to buy the newspaper
Unless I can no longer afford
Actual Toilet paper itself
