If being rich proves you’re smart
show us now you have a heart.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Use your brains to educate
those who’ve soaked in ignorance or hate.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Show us you can use your mind
to uplift rather than bind.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Right knowledge gained by trial and error
pays compound interest in love, not terror.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Right knowledge gained by proper instruction
helps seed peace, not destruction.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Your wealth well used to empower
helps the human garden flower.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Don’t think you’re safe in your ivory tower
when you don’t know how to turn on the power.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Can you grow a potato or milk a cow?
Share your wealth. Share it now.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Yes, you’ll have to spend more than a dime.
But it won’t take all of your time.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Because established groups are already working
to birth a new day where fewer are hurting.
Do it now. Do not wait.
Do not, do not hesitate.
Share this song with your rich neighbor.

Good to hear from you!
Yes, I like your rhyme. Feel free to steal the poem, post it somewhere else with your new improved version.
I am a big fan of EDUCATION. My fearless writing group leader is a fan of the form of the poem being best, even if meaning is compromised.
Hope you are hanging on.
Hey Cathy: I copyrighted that line, so you owe me a royalty, but I’ll cut ya a chunk’a-slack, because you’re writing about Shona’s post.
