Heart knows no bound
Source no limit
To where you help.
Make people happy
Though gullible in their eyes
Help their dreams come true.
Where does one find True Extinction
Long gone into sad extinction?
Know I some doubly soiled magistrates
Clean for their mansions with balustrades,
A wife-beater philanthropist
Who would not pay for bandaged wrist,
A lauded sharp shooter commando
Who fired and missed stalked Fernando
And doctor who called colleague 'Dummy'
But swab forgot in patient's tummy...
And it's second missionary journey
Prompting a bribing of Attorney.
One room cabin born, wrote a song at age of five.
Dreamed big, prayed hard, had intense drive.
Sang with Porter Wagoner’s band,
Put books in millions of children’s hands,
Imagination Library, a culmination of Dolly’s Dream.
For enhancing literacy in Tennessee, she is the queen.
Hypocrisy in philanthropy,
is the theme for tonight.
A reoccurring cadency,
in a false malevolent light.
Sally was a generous benefactress.
She spent her life giving away money like this.
She gave her wealth.
She gave herself.
Patron with attributes of wonderfulness.
Prodigious;
Remarkable or impressive in extent, size or degree.
Prodigious;
Archaically unnatural or great abnormally.
The difference between, only being slight of hand.
Biblical in proportion as before the great flood,
The living grieved must now take an archaic stand,
Banish this dead philanthropist anointed with blue blood.
Publically giving throughout his life;
He fooled the common-man and even the queen.
Cleverly masking the innocents' strife,
His death revealed gifted garishness unseen.
While knighthood is a living order that death takes away;
The Whitehall committee possesses the power empanelled.
Emboldened by the servile multitude willing to flay,
Jimmy Savile's many years of prestige must now be annulled.

Beating Bill Gates,the richest,
Wearing a pure generous chest,
Donating all the 7B people like a philanthropist,
31,536,000 seconds each atmost,
Came new year 2015 as a new guest,
Wishes to you,wishes to you all the best!
A PHILANTHROPIST
God
People of the universe
Is transgressive
God
People of the world
Is munificence
Only you form your destiny.
God
People of the universe
Has given us our lives

PENNED ON OCTOBER 03, 2014!
I stand in great awe of
Yiorgos the Philanthropist
who in public shared cheerfully
his wealth for the needy.
Oh, what a hypocrisy
It’s unbelievingly hard for him
to give the wages of his good maid
in return, of her long service.
