Humanity Undone

Inspired by the story of the couple that started the goofundme for a homeless man who helped them but are using most of it on themselves.

 

It is a trick of humanity

When a mirror of generosity

Is clouded by the smoke

Of your true objectives.

Asking the neighbors

For fertilizer

To green the grass

Of a stranger’s home

Is the real fertilizer

In and of itself.

How low can you go

When you dig a grave

To bury the bones

Of your true intentions?

For six feet under will

Never be deep enough

To hold all the shame

You have given humankind.

I read about the story that inspired your write...and it made me so angry! They pretended to be so altruistic and then spent the money on themselves...disgusting! Unfortunately, there are so often ulterior motives to those who do good deeds that I have become a cynic. Lydi**

Unfortunately you are right. That is why so many are skeptic to those of us with genuine intentions.

the good samaritan act does not follow the good intention of every man though how noble as one shouts but still cant help thinking that there is still a motive behind ranging from dark to the darkest... it is cynicism on my part but cant help it

I know what you are saying... I hope for the best in people but realize I will often be disappointed.
