Spiritually Poor People Poem by Francis Duggan

To many the amateur writer of rhyme
Is one who is wasting his or her time
To them anyone who does something without pay
Are wasting their time they do see it this way
Any hobby to them is not a good idea
Since such things does not pay for your family's high class restaurant tea
They judge you by your financial income and material assets the value of your big house and new car
But never of the sort of person that you really are
The praises of someone doing something for nothing they never could sing
To them it is just not a natural thing
They see people who without pay help poor people of helping in need
As silly people quite silly indeed
As spiritually poor people they do seem this way
Show them a flowering garden and they only see decay.
