Wealth can't buy us peace;
An open heart is priceless
Down all the ages.
Does not the beggars palm lend charity,
And thus the heart the sweeter sense?
Thy alms given before his eyes
Bear the fruit of man's enterprise
And promise of life’s reverence.
In sweet vapors ascend with thee
Soothing airs of prosperity.
You were so okay, but I was in misery
for me it was love, for you, seemed philanthropy
I needed a lover's bind, but you craved the freedom lane
all your selfish philosophy, in the end, was my bane.
(11.03.2023)
One day, we will organize things by priority
Emphasize your health over your bounty
Favoring lenient prophylaxis above authority
In favor of people, rather than oil paucity
Up to this point, we will rely on charity.
Whether it was a donation or a reward
Because of you, I finally took the sword
I am paddling the currents of my hoard
In its wake, I went down with the horde.
Your limbs feel the kiss of the moon
She strolls happily in a fading sun boon
The poor plate waits for a spoon
What is the person who cannot feel others' swoons?
Noticing the arduous pain yet still inopportune
Water, not blood in veins, if they are tycoons.

A praised righteousness is made to end,
Twelve swear to not again money lend,
The First, to often penury pretend,
The Second, to always for himself fend,
The Third, not even his next of kin tend,
The Fourth, starvation of beggars shall extend,
The Fifth, a dying visitor back home send,
The Sixth with all market prices contend,
The Seventh, to philanthropy never bend,
The Eighth, marrying a poor doesn’t intend,
The Ninth, garments of old debtors rend,
The Tenth, on redeemed debts depend,
The Eleventh, never his wife’s sandals mend,
The Twelfth, a promised church building suspend!
A lender who turns a miser,
Has smelt the odds in not being wiser,
Not a dime releasing, wealth stabilizer.
Chances of matching desire to acquire fortune and desire to worship is always remote,it’s wise is to worship to acquire the Paradise.Philanthropy is a philosophy
reading a generous mind and a therapy to eliminate poverty!
Philanthropy comes at the end of the day,
when the robber baron says to his god i'll pay,
to just be heaven sent , ok:} Don
If, in exchange for big donations
to charity,
some rich dude gets entitled
to a tax holiday,
some kind of an or-else-your-money-back
guarantee,
you honestly call that genuine
philanthropy?
true philanthropy
anonymous generosity
shuns tax cuts, trophy
