The wealthy man cuts the ribbon to great fanfare -
The whole world applauds his generosity rare . . .




The funded man limos to his private jet -
First a round of golf and then a table well set . . .


 

A haggard homeless halves his soggy sandwich
With another as they sit in a dirtied ditch . . .
The world, if it notices at all, averts its gaze
Lest it look too long on the unsavory strays . . .


The hungry man lays down in a sleepy haze
Knowing he gave half the food of the last three days.
