Tom Wright Poet Quatrain

Ye Did It Unto Them,

You Did It Unto Them,
Ye Did It Unto Me
Miracle Man
3/10/2023

I’m besieged by panhandlers on the street,
With extended hands and with signs they greet.
I seldom fall for stories they’re dishing,
But asking is more gainful than wishing.

Many have chosen the wrong path in life,
looked upon by some as being lowlife.
But some can’t fit society’s framework,
and need help finding continuous work.

Matthew 25:40 King James Version
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Daniel Turner March 10, 2023 at 4:36 PM It is indeed unfortunate, Tom. Around here they would rather not work, they just want something for nothing. hard to help someone who refuses to help himself/herself. I just hope, "i tried to help" is better than doing nothing.
