Alms For The Poor

~~~~~~ The Clever Beggar ~~~~~~

The not so old beggar stood 
before me,with outstretched 
arms and a sadden stare
He ask me for sixty-five cent

He was working this side of the street
I started to dig up the amount he requested
when he ask me if...

Give your alms in secret,
Don't let the whole world know.
Do it from the depths of your heart;
Not for an outside show.

When someone makes a request from you,
Because of a personal need.
Don't talk about what you have done for them;
Just let it be a good deed.

If...

Yukon pots sib bully challah me Jude

The vigil of mirth and praise
Hopeful and prayerful arms raise
Alms to the creator of our days
New gratitude for his generous outlays
Kindness and mercy he endlessly displays
Scepter with which he guards our pathways
Goodness and grace to usward relays
Inspiration and devotion that our soul sways
Votive offerings heavanward...

I gave alms to a needy person



Her
voice cracked,
thank you, sir.
She hid the alms
like it's a fine dream.
She wore the filthy streets,
her face, baring the burdens
of her flight in life. I could see.
But what can I do? I can smell death.
But what can I do? I...

ALMS AND TITHES
 
Alms, spontaneous like a gentle breeze,
Tithes, a steady stream, a spiritual ease.
Both hold real value and kindle light,
In the acts of giving, souls take flight.

In worlds where compassion transcends,
These two acts of kindness often contends:
Giving alms and tithing, both profound,
Yet different paths...

Blandishments eroded invaluable necessary treasured alms

Existential nihilism rent psyche asunder
courtesy unforeseen deadly bombs
lobbed by computer hacker and scammer
rolled into one nasty,
short and brutish lout,
whereby his aggrieved targeted victim
experiences absolutely zero qualms.

Though common horse sense
I generally applaud
within these lovely bones
an undersize fellow whose forehead broad
methinks perchance...

Alms! shouted the beggar, 
as the royal carriage went by,
But just then, an arrow flew past,  
piercing the kings eye,
Killing him instantly, 
it penetrated his brain,
Beggar is still mumbling,
“lucky sod felt no pain.”

Perception can be misleading, 
changes all the time,
One second have everything, 
next...

From many houses, pots, tubs
I'm begging my words

the alms of poems
I'm begging from-
the stars
sun to moon
star-spangled ship to the space, cosmos
the drop of the snow
the morn breeze of the autumn
smiling spring rose
the flying chirping birds
swimming pond fish
the shyness of new married woman
cats and dogs raining
matting...

Enough for a brew
With a coin or two
Whatever the Lord could afford...

Welfare's up to politicians.
Poverty to judges.
Sickness comes from being neglected-
Lawlessness for grudges....

When Jesus was asked about whether or not it is healthy and safe for the colonized Jewish people to pay taxes to kleptocratic Ceasar, he said to give back to Ceasar what is his.

What is his,
to serve WeSacredPeople 
mind/body health 
and environmental safety?

Christ's implied church...

In wild vanity your curiosity hunts
What no greedy archer ever shot;
And pining under unrequited labor,
You’ll condemn your inclement lot. 

In ceaseless tilling your brow 
Shall toil endlessly under sun,
Till no sweat sits on your skin;
And return with no medal won.

For your parsimonious hand 
Withholds the...

On  daily  basis producing  their hyperactive  arms 
For their better-offs’ less automatic alms:
On lucky charity, therefore, badly dependent,
With things not looking quite resplendent.
The word ‘Pauper’ fitting their circumstance,
Year after year, not exceeding a certain distance.

In their quest for help, increasingly instinctive
And...
