Responsibility

The greedy look after themselves,
The needy cannot.
We all have a responsibility to the needy.
The greedy do not feel any responsibility
Toward anyone.
Not even themselves.
It is the only thing they give away to others.

The Gates Foundation just donated $1.2-billion to eradicate polio. Imagine how many lives would be different if they had not overcharged customers at the onset. Aloha!
