Being Poor

The needy and poor
Know the apt score
At being quite sore,
Some are so hungry
That they’ve to beg
To get some money
To stand on a leg –
They are a minority.
 
But they are a majority
In some poor countries,
Where begging is rife
Trying to get by in life.
Have you sensitivities
Of giving to charities.

  1. Hi, Andrew! I am distressed when I see homeless people and others begging. And I'm intimidated, too, because some are obviously suffering from mental illness. I rarely give money to them, because I've been swarmed and frightened in the past when I have given money. My choice is to support charities that work with the poor and homeless, like the Salvation Army and Doctors Without Borders. I always vote to support those who are in need, vulnerable, and mentally ill. Wishing you a good week, my friend! Give Sadie her favorite scratch for me!

    1. Greetings Louise. I tend to be selective on who I give too, as many are on the con and out for their next fix! I tend to give to the Females more so than the males, as it must be harder for them to tolerate! You are right and just in giving to the Salvation Army and other such charities, so I commend you with your giving. Enjoy your new Week too. Blessings my Friend. I gave Sadie a belly-rub from your sweet-self! Love love, Andrew.
