Spending on others is noble
A trait so human and global
Yet selfish we do become
Ignoring the sad and glum
And then we do shy away
If we have little in our tray
Others we can ask to pool in
If our own resources are thin
And if we have been kind
To those deaf and blind
Never must we brag
Or wave our own flag
But reach out to others in pain
And worried for them remain
And scold not those who ask
And take not them to task
And not stress upon them
Those favours done to them
Generosity let us not flaunt
And give away even in want
Searching for those in need
Is humane and kind indeed
But remember when we roam
That charity begins at home
