is the theme for tonight. 
A reoccurring cadency,
in a false malevolent light....

She spent her life giving away money like this.

The face is very generous 
Like a philanthropist,giving 
The top to hat to sit on head 
Both eyes to a pair of spectacles  
To mask the nose just center 
Beard to long down to chest
What space left behind to face?...

Wearing a pure generous chest,
Donating all the 7B people like a philanthropist,

Came new year 2015 as a new guest,

Let every man his poem treasure.
Let every girl her poem treasure.
Whether wit or want or wayward pleasure
Be met with rhyme or metered measure
Let every poem be a treasure.

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....

Bill Gates is the richest geek
In a country money we seek
Life is so tough for the poor
Living only on fast food galore

Gates is a very generous geek
A good philanthropist to seek
Totally quick and never slow
Even gave away half his dough
Simply a good old geek amigo...

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....

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

Because of you,  
I live to your will 
my father.
Because of you, I
go out and say things
you've done for me.
For what you've done
blessed me so much,
creator of all mankind.
Greatest philanthropist
of all. 
Healer of all pain, my 
father god, you've given
me life more abundantly.
For that my father, 
you are the greatest 
lover of my life...

It was a rose among the thorns
It was a solution among the problems
It was a sweetness among the sourness
It was a king among the kings

The expectance it brought
The honour it cherished
The ageless it embraced
The respect it should be given

It was a loner in the making
It was a distinguished human being
It was a unique and different species
It was a philanthropist among the nations...

Do you need to be born in Africa or Haiti
to be saved
What about the single mother in the ghettos
of Detroit
Will an actor or politician or philanthropist
deem you worthy
Of a rescue from a situation that as assuredly
kills
Cable TV asks for your money for the starving
third world
While lost souls in your shadow are homeless, crying
—in plain sight

(Norristown Pennsylvania: January, 2021)...

My eyes bounds back to me,
When I see, my inbox is empty.

Am I waiting for your words?
Perhaps.

All the words are not sweet,
Yet they may be powerful;
There might be a statement;
There might be a passion. 
Or, there might be politics. 

I know, all words are not sweet.

Yes, 
Sweet are those --
I think, Therefore they are so.

Like a philanthropist I dream;
Like a philosopher I seek....

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....

Kobe
The man
The father
The philanthropist
The hero
The legend
The accident
The shock

Mankind suffers
The loss of its role models
Like the sun above
The world desperately needs
To shed light every day
On goodwill and compassion
To celebrate humanitarian efforts
Large and small
And not wait for tragedies
To mention in passing
Good deeds
Lost in the hype

A disciple learned well from Robin Hood…

Converted, he named his son Ruben Good

Whose great philanthropist heart

Taught labour’s art plus love’s smart

To give* and share God’s blessings as one should.

*Acts 20:35 ... Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Very deep emotional and inspiring verse:

He was born from a grass thatched house in a remote village. His friends used to laugh him that he will be a failure in life. At lunchtime he had lack of food and wore a tattered school uniform. One day,he was chased out of school because he had no school fees. But, today he is taking flights all over the world and helping millions out of poverty shackles.

The job is to lit in night,

From Sun,leased out the light,

Edison is the master,

Taught Lincoln,not history but how to become a history?

A philanthropist,

Giving all light free like smile,

A camera fixture along the road to capture pictures,

A wayside police always straight and alert,

Vanishing,handing over the night to the next in shift,dawning,

Rolling down the blankets mist and snow in armpits,

When the big way to open to the big boss,Sun to come on Sky!...
