Point the Finger At Your Chest




               ~POINT THE FINGER AT YOUR CHEST~





        What have you done lately,
        For your community?
        Have you gone out and helped the poor?
        Or are you, just a selfish, vain boor?

        You want a change in your nation?
        It's up to you to make a difference, not be
        simply, "a mouth sensation!"

        We should rally great citizen troops.
        I am tried of blaming political nincompoops.

       Don't worry, I do write poems about leaders, many!
       But who responds to political spoofs?

       Very, rare courageous few, if any.

       We all, our arses we want cowardly covered.
       So political poets, like me, get on a hit
       list and are smothered!

       But I don't care, but don't you see?
       When you smother me, you smother thee?

       So phenomenal is this inane drive to be popular here.
       All poetical love, like useless junk in a car, slammed into 
       the rear!

It costs nothing to show a bit of kindness towards others. I'll always give someone a hand if they need it, one day I might need a hand. Tom

As you say, a prayer without action is much less diminished. We must put our souls and bodies where our mouths are -- "God helps those...." etc.. I ran a non-profit for years, never took a salary -- I thing there were my true riches. Blessings my friend.
