From a distance I hear ‘can you spare a dime?’
Can change hold off a life of crime?
Are my thoughts silly or sublime?
He nears, will I get off in time?
He’s probably just down on his luck,
What’s wrong if I give him a buck?
I’d help out a friend who is stuck,
Perhaps he won’t see me when I duck.
“Help out your fellow man,” we’re told
But people’s faces are stone cold–
“He’ll learn his lesson–all withhold!”
Am I to judge? Is that too bold?
Closer and closer ’spare a dime?’
Will my change change his life, or mine?
Are my thoughts silly or sublime?
He nears, will I get off in time?
A special thanks to Abe who helped with the editing.

For some, money is the big chase,
Morals, ethics not a problem as long as there is another bill in my suitcase.
Accumulate more and more you’ll win the race,
When they bury you with it, you’ll need a really big space.
Maybe the point is to help those without,
A community that jumps at once, when the distress call goes out.
No need to wait for the one with much clout,
Together, we’re unstoppable, we can fix anything no doubt.
Celebrate life, that’s worth more than a barrel of oil,
A new discovery, could make cancer recoil.
Could death be a culture for reclaiming soil?
Strange to think that’s why we were put on earth to toil.
Friends, family, children, acts of kindness deserve more of your time,
To your boss say, “It’s worth a lot more than your precious dime”.
The corporate ladder, a mountain I’d rather climb,
Do something meaningful, before you pass your prime.
