Ungrateful

Take and receive.
For that is all you know.
The word give hasn't been set in your heart.
You take and take.
But then there is nothing left.
For the people who you took from stopped giving.

Wow, I hope this poem isn't from real experience. But, it did give me food for thought. I love poems about animals and assorted living creatures of all kinds. Perhaps between the two of us a poem could be written about leeches. Of course that is what this poem is already about just by a different title. Keep up the good work.
