Malak Kalmoni. Chehab An amazing aspirational and inspiring poem. Malak. So much more needs to be done to help the less fortunate. And as you say, creating well paying jobs that support families and communities is the ideal. All people need meaningful, fulfilling work they can be proud of. By, Linda Powers O’Dell
‘Humanitarian Aid’
How’s philanthropy helping the down-trodden?
Charities galore, making money, beholden
To the filthy rich, who part cautiously,
With their material goods, heavenly,
Is their allocation as they help the needy,
Whose prayers for the givers are done loudly
In order for all to hear of their philanthropic
Activities, that are only a drop in the oceanic
Depths of need and devastation that exists
In a world where humanity’s enslaved and persists
In demanding accolades for what should be
An ethical and humane gesture to help people
In need of a helping hand here and there,
Preferably, a job that’ll give enough to prepare
For the task of supporting their family
In a bid to never fall under the miserly
Capitalist whose only thought
Is to where he can squeeze, what was taught,
The best buck st the expense of those
Who need it most, but will give it without pause
So their pride in their abilities
Shines in the eyes of families.
