Is it a crime
To reach in your pocket
And give that person a dime
Is it a crime
To forget about yourself this time
And put a pair of shoe
On the one standing next to you
With their feet on the ground
Is it a crime
To gift one of your many cars
To the sister in the pew across from you
With her kids standing at the bus stop
You wave at them every Sunday when you drive by
Is it a crime
To buy extra groceries
For that widow on the verge
Of a cat food dinner
Is it a crime
You look down on the needy
While you hob knob with the greedy
Is it a crime
Is it a crime
If you saw someone in need what would you do?
You are a great poet, Emma!
Thanks Glenda for the encouragement. I aspire to be a poet that breaks all the rules. 🙂
