Helping hand

When you need a favour,
You are quick to ask for it
By expecting that people
Put you before themself

But when they need a favour,
even the smallest - You will think twice
You will put yourself first
Before anybody else

When someone deal with you
You are quick to get annoyed
If they are not smiling
You will call it bad customer service or they're being rude

But when you face them
You are quick to be in your own world
Not considering how you could make
Someone’s day better with just a smile

When you see someone in need,
Whether its moral support, financial support
Love and care
You are quick to decide that its not your problem

But when you feel alone, troubled or hurt
You would as anyone else
Yearn for these “little” things from others
Which could make your world a much better place to be in

When you needed few bucks for cigarettes,
Or little bit more for some fashionable clothes
You will be moody that you did not have enough money
And would be quick to borrow some from a friend

But when you hear
About the poverty in the world
The abuse, the war, the cruelty, the natural disasters
You say you cant afford the time and money to bother with charity

When you had a tragic accident
You are quick to wish that
you will get a blood transfusion
So you can survive

But although it takes less than 30 minutes
To donate blood and although it’s only less than a pint
And you could save 3 lives by just one donation
You are quick to not even bother

When your loved one is in hospital
and the doctor says the only way
to rescue her/him is by an organ transplant
you are quick to accept the offer of an organ donation

But you are quick to simply reject even the thought
Of an organ donation to someone else
Even after your death
Instead you will preach about being “whole and beautiful” after death, about religion and sin

It is disgusting how you can be so selfish
And take and take
Without thinking of how the little you do and give
could be so much useful to others
