In A World Seething With Inequality

The thanks that a beggar gives
for the small change they are given
when they sit outside shops, in cities,
the better to attract the loose change
of customers going into the shops,
that humility, is worth more
than all the money freely given;
the words are all the beggar have to give
and even then they lose volition,
the power of choice,
in a world that does not listen,

This makes the size of the soul of the giver
small change itself in a world
where the self importance of the giver is what counts.
That said small change is better than nothing
when not caring about having a soul seems to not matter.
