Give To Receive Poem by Francis Duggan

For to feel disappointed something one does not choose
But for one to win someone else has to lose
It is part of what's known as our life's destiny
This is how it is and it always will be
Doesn't matter your skin color white, black or brown
Or if you live on the poor or wealthy side of town
Or if you have or do not have a house, boat or car
Though it matters the type of person that you are
I find it impossible to admire the moneyed billionaire
Who only knows how to take but not to give and share
They have missed out on kindness, compassion and empathy
And are quite poor in some ways it does seem to me
Since on the higher principle they firmly believe
The best people are those who give to receive.
