What Is Real Charity? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
What Is Real Charity?
A beggar came to me and begged.
I offered food that he declined.
I offered clothes that he declined.
I offered coins to be declined.
Puzzled, I asked him, "What else would
You prefer to receive from me? "
He asked for my lust and greed.
He asked for my fake and jealousy.
I then sent him empty handed.
Nor did I know that it was God
Who had come to me in disguise.
Is what we give a charity?
