#Blessed

True charity, you see

that's a gift to you from me.

Giving selflessly is

the height of purity.

Selfish motivations,

a heartless imitation

of those who give for nothing

just for ego inflations.

Taking selfies with the poor,

saying "hashtag #BlessTheLord."

All you're hoping for

Is attention, more and more.

Put down the phone,

we aren't throwing you a bone.

Expect nothing in return

or leave the needy alone.

Listen to their hearts,

and with your ego, you will part.

Give in to the soulful rhythm

That's where we need to start.
