As a Member of Humanity
as a member of humanity
the pain of poverty
diminishes me.
give my gold away
mere things have no sway.
guard my wayward heart
from lies and coldness
indifference and busyness
that i may heed the cries
casting away pride
to cry alongside
with a new way of seeing
become a better human being.
