A Few Coins In Hand..

A hand is cast into the darkness,
while another plays a musical tune,
hoping that someone would appreciate his craft,
and give him a dollar or two.

But his music is scarcely appreciated,
for it was met mostly with scowls and frowns,
for people think that he feeds on sympathy,
but maybe he just wants his talent to be found.

What about the old people then?
Aren't they a little old for showbiz?
asks some people in their hearts,
but theres one fact that they missed,
employers wont hire the elderly,
for the only important things in life are,
cheap labour,profits and money!
I may be bold to stereotype the conglomerates,
but most of this is true,
just look at the foreign talents that are used.

Life is cruel,yes thats true,
but why cant we make it easier,
for those who need more help than you do?

So,lets just put a few cents,
into that container with a smile,
hoping the best for them,
to make their efforts worthwhile.
