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.
