Will Work For Comments
How many times have you seen someone
Holding up one of those signs
"Out of work, will work for food"
I just can't count the times
Sometimes, they're legitimate
And you can really feel their need
Then there's those who play our emotion
Whose purpose is based on greed
I don't mind helping someone
Who's a little down on luck
It makes me feel good inside
To share a couple of bucks
You never know what good you do
When you're giving with your heart
To help someone back on their feet
Could mean a brand new start
Now, that I have your attention
There's something I need to ask
Don't worry, it's nothing major
It's really a simple task
I'm somewhat of a starving poet
With no major writing events
No, I'm not asking for money
"I'll work for your comments"
I hope you don't take me seriously
You know, I'm only kidding
But to end this poem just like this
I thought was only fitting
