Poem: And You Want Something from Me

Poem: And You Want Something from Me

How can it be?

Someone asking a favor of me?

Where was that someone

when I needed a helping hand,

a consoling ear?

How can that be?

Someone wanting something from me.

Never mind my bleeding heart.

My kindness is always forthcoming,

but never seems reciprocated.

What happened to love your fellow man

as respect for your fellow man?

Has it died with the passing of time?

And now you come to me

wanting something from me.
