Compassion Over Greed

Location

The power to make a change is,

Within the courage to be nameless,

Within the will power to walk away,

From the pleasing addiction of greed,

By letting the hands of compassion lead,

The way away.

Stay away from greed, be freed.

 

Be a tool to fix this chasm,

Oh the lack of compassion!

Become a good administrator of God's riches,

Give the cuts stitches,

Give water to the flowers,

Give posture to the falling towers.

What have you done?

For many, a few, or one? None?

 

To me, there is no doubt

To be the rain in a drought,

One must be giving,

A person of God living and willing,

To administrate what's God's with righteousness,

The relentless practice of selflessness,

That's the very agent of change,

What I believe I must do to make a change
