If only ........

I am sitting in a restaurant sharing brekkie with a bunch
It's a beautiful Sunday morning
Not really that far from lunch
I am overlooking the ocean and the beauty of the beach
But overwhelmed with guilt as I consider the people out of reach
As I fill my gluttonous face
With food I don't really enjoy
The guilt hits me harder for I know it's not a ploy
I ponder on the less fortunate
And how they would perceive
The man and his castle
And his life of make believe
How could I make a difference if any at all
If I live in a cocoon
Surrounded by a wall .......

I know what you mean Nu. I tithe at church but it doesn't seem enough. I put into the Salvation Army Red Kettle at Christmas, then MDA - St. Jude - Children's lunches - , etc. at the grocery store collections. But yet the poor never reduce in number. I'm only one small person but I wish I could do more at times. Makes me sad especially to see children go without.
