What Good Did I Really Do (Poverty) Poem by A. P. Hancock

What Good Did I Really Do (Poverty)



Dedicated to All Our Homeless Friends Around the World

I saw my old friend Cal today, and the news was worse than bad
He’d lost his bike to a hit and run, and the Clean Ups trashed his pad
Everything except his clothes, had been taken far away
And Cal was down and almost out, what could I do or say

I could have gone and bought a bike, but didn’t and I don’t know why
I could have picked up a sleeping bag, done something but I didn’t try
I simply pumped the tank til full, and gave him one or two
I said, “Hope tomorrow’s better Cal, ” but what good did I really do
