The Saddest Fact Is

i admit my friend
the saddest fact in this place is this:

i know everyone
but no one knows me

the happiest moment however is this:

i like it that way
no one solicits for my donations

the sadder part is
the town too is unknown

the happier part is
everything happens by reason
of mere compliance

I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we'd donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.

Spinners On The Net

For knavish gain they spin
Manifold lies and stories
All borne by Greed within
Sly charlatans are these.

Spinners on the net
Weave very crafty video
Obviously to get
Donations, that is so!

Beware and check them out
Although the cause be noble
Probe what it's all about
Lest you heed a spinner's call.

Wicked Witch from the West

(parody to tune of the Beatles “Lady Madonna”)

Nancy Pelosi, looking none too sweet
If we paid for your face lift, hope you kept the receipts.
Who pays out the money for your private jet?
Don’t think that is helping the environment.

Your face pulled tighter than a tambourine skin
Your botox treatment botched and overdone
You’ve got a face that terrifies small children

See how they run! !

Nancy Pelosi, the taxpayers oppressed
as you donate their savings to the “poor distressed”.

Nancy Pelosi, lying to the press

On Organ Donation

If you’re brain-dead by accidents:

Your eyes can continue to see
By being placed in one who needs,
And live for another life-time!

Your heart can continue to beat
In one who needs a living pump
To circulate the blood around!

Your kidneys both can excrete wastes
In persons two with uraemia,
And help them live for some more years!

Your liver transplanted in one
With alcoholic cirrhosis
Can help him live for some more weeks!

Your pancreas, lungs, intestines,
Bone, bone-marrow and entire skin

And they turned around and leased it to The Assembly Of God Churches - their headquarters are in Springfield, Missouri. They leased it to them for the first year. Then, after the first year, they will donate it to the church.

Umbrella

Like a brazen
dancer of night.
A phantom?

With heart on chest;
floating in air,
like a death-scarf.

You have donated
the body for an angel-
petrifying the moon.

The hairy saint
was unquiet,
in a glass house.

Who had delivered
the letter to god?
I pledge to stay alive.

Putting An End To It

No longer am I in the business,
Of donating time I regard as valuable...
For the purposes of others,
To hesitate in procrastination...
In a wasting done of time that comes,
To them at my expense.

Those days have disappeared,
To clear from my radar.
I have shifted my senses,
From that existence.
Since for me it did not make sense,
To use them as excuses as my defense.

Putting an end to it,
Helped me get off that fence!

Once Having No Time To Give

Why is it that those,
Once having no time to give to others...
Whether freely donating from their hearts or not,
Seem as if they have more of it.
With an abundance of time on their hands they have.
And the ones they had 'selected' then to share it with,
Could care less if they exist.
While the ones with the time,
Do their best to find something constructive to do.
Having spent most of their lives,
Addressing impressions and not a self worth.

Colour of blood

icon of good or bad
is deed, not color of skin
each heart pumps same red …

for thirsty of blood
no place in humanity
should live amongst wolves

if it was to pain you
can you shed blood like water?
donate, so save others

Isn't Strange

isn't strange
how a 20 rupee note
seems like such a large amount
when u donate to a temple
but such a small amount
when u go 2 shopping?
isn't strange
how 2 hours seems so long when u are in temple
and how short they seem
when u are watching a good movie

Once dear and near! !

Evidences are erased,
notes are shredded,
gifts are donated,
tears are shed,
cries are cried,
curses are cursed,
story is repeated,
shoulders are felt,
lesson is learned,
months are gone,
but the memory not lost,
the memory may fade,
faded memory will fade away,
once dear and near,
becomes forgotten and far.

Something To Someone

The Door of Knowledge will be opened
To someone
When you offer a free education
With generous mind

The Door of Light will be opened
To someone
When you donate your own eyes
With the human heart

Giving someone something
Is really a great thing
In life

Stand Up To Cancer

The human body's all we are
Till we explore this life,
It doesn't matter, near or far,
We find both joy and strife,
Such that we learn from history
How life was lived before
And from statistics we can see
Something we can't ignore...

The world is changed each time we smile
And also when we cry,
But no-one wants to face the trial
When Cancer comes close by...
Though Doctors treat and Nurses soothe
And families make a fuss,
The whole world needs to know the truth...
The future's up to us...

How precious life has always been,
Donations prove that's true,

With That Accomplished

Finally I have done something,
You regard as repulsive.
How many years did that take?
I hope you are pleased with the discovery.

Now...
With that accomplished,
You may have a reason to begin living...
Your own life.
Have you thought about that as an option?
That's if you have not donated your nose,
To the fulfilling of charity purposes.

On the Lap of Their Mother

On the lap of their mother
Their body is like a feather
Feels the drought, cruel weather!

Their eyes shed no tears
Mothers are weary of many fears
So much distress across years!

Shocking images of devastation
Farther go beyond their nation
They need more than donation.

Times are tough everywhere
But it's urgent to act fair
So as to stop that nightmare!

Dennis Wilson Christmas Message

Santa claus is coming to town...
Christmas is a joyous time of year.
But for an underprivileged child, this isnt always true.
This is dennis wilson of the beach boys.
Alan, michael, carl, brian and myself would like to ask
All of you to join in with us in donating a toy to an
Underprivileged children organization, so they, too,
Might possibly share in a very, very happy christmas this year.
Thank you.

For Lolit...

poverty is like a thorn
inside your throat, and most
often this thorn
blocks the smooth flow
of food inside
your stomach,
you bleed to
death and your husband
who asks for donations
to buy your coffin
like Moses goes up
the Mount Moria and
prays there
he is seen by the neighbor
and he is described as
a cross of the new
Calvary
on that gray morning
when the fog still hangs
itself

Find

South pole to north pole.
I travelled,
Looking for few people
Having bright and innovative idea with
Productive result which spread
Every corner of earth.
Shower happiness and peace.
I find number of people.
Rich to donate and poor to serve.
Hidden beauty of encourage exist everywhere.
