Poem Commentary

i have learned that you cant be both generous and poor... :/ but it doesnt stop me from wishing i could be...

Those Who Have Nothing...

I hate that
when people need money,
I cant hold out my hand
and magically have a twenty...

Because I know how much they need it....

I wish that I
could put my change in that
"For the Orphans" box,
but know i cant...

Because I might need it later...

I blush when someone
asks where my lunch is at...
Because Im too proud
to answer back...

Truthfully...

I now have the understanding
of why people are greedy... 
You take everything you can get
because you used to have nothing...

And that is the way reality is...

Such a sad sad truth. And you expressed it so well.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
