The Needy

The Needy The needy came unnoticed To a crowded room of masks--- Benevolent humanitarians Diligent in their tasks. The needy still unnoticed Soon grew faint from want and lack And left the crowded room of masks--- Never to come back. ©deborah burch 2003 Posted:3/17/2012

Help unrecognizeable is no help at all no matter how benevolent. You tell the travesty well. Well done lady. Huggs TLee
