Think, Before You Throw Away


I have a great idea.

Do you know all of these
big business fat cats,
roaming around in their
two thousand, three or
even maybe five thousand
tailor made suits?

I think what they SHOULD do
instead of wasting their money,
throwing it away to gigantic corporations,
that, in my mind,
think they don't need,
try what is best to the world,
is write an enormous check
and send it to places,
like Ethiopia, or even Africa.

Why is it that
they can't think,
before they throw away?

Are they so stupid and blind
to the point,
that they can't think,
with their pea-sized brains,
that places like this
don't exist on this Earth?

I would like to walk up to them,
slap them upside their fat heads
and scream out,
"Are you stupid?
Why do you have to waste money,
that can be spent on something a little more important,
than something that truly is not?"

"Why not sit down
and write a big fat check,
to those whom desperately need it the most?"

"There are people that are starving
in this world,
that could, no, would love
to have the money that you idiots have."

"Why can't you sit back
and think of what you are doing?"

I wouldn't even wait for an explanation
or an answer.

I know they don't give a living cr@p
about what truly is going on around them.

So, my honest advice to those
that waste is.....
Think, before you throw away.

Stop living with your eyes tightly closed shut.

Give to those,
who can really use what you
throw away.
