why bother?

this is just helping people in nheed. if u are to help then help with one heart!

so why bother?

when your efforts are to

yield nothing..

 

absolutely nothing gets

  done

if you are to do it,

then do it whole heartedly!

 

whats the point of giving when

you know you dont want to?

or even when you want to...

dont make a fuss about it

 

unless is the PR

move..

why would you help her..

offer your hand when she most need

only to come back and rub it in her face

when shes gotten somewhere!

 

if you are to help,

then help with the right hand

without the conscience of the left hand!!

 

helping her today..

and making it the hot topic story

in community the next day

is absolutely ridiculous.

 

you dont need to blow your

own trumpet for all to know!!

let your actions speek for you.

Author's Note

this is just about those people who help the needy just in the presence of the media or peer groups or people to witness so that they can be feared and praised how generous they do. dont bother if thats what you are to do because the bible even condemns it!

that is really amazing...it reminds me of a hadith (speech) by Prophet Mohamed (peace be upon Him) that he says what means, they go to paradise without questioned those who give charity to the poor and never mention it as if their left hands dont know what their right hands have already given...
very nicely written..

[Michael of Gilead]

It's so annoying when someone of note gives or does something for charity....and that "third" party comes forward telling all, including "they would never take credit themselves"

Yeah...uh huh

[Danielle]

[Ahmad Cox]

So true. Unfortunately I know people like this

[luviva]

tell them about their behaviours... i also know loads of people like them. that was my source of insipiratio0n to write that poem... en thanxx for the review en reading :D

[David Scott]

The poetry was a bit arbitrary to me. Did not find meter or a flown to the reading. The idea to be real and not to manipulate a situation.

[luviva]

well thanks.. for the hints they were constructive.. will focus on that next time.

[Tarry Franck]

Very well said and I so agree with you :)

[luviva]

thank you soo much!!
