Donations always have strings of authority. Recepients are forced to comply with the dictatorship of the democratic nations.
A poor man with a hump deserves help
If he asks you for a bed pls give him
If you can add a blanket please do it
Then leave him alone. Let him enjoy
Tell him not how he should fit the bed
Let him decide which way he wants to sleep.
Be not authoratative to help the poor
Be not a dictator to show democracy

I think a lot of the 'nanny' states of this world (and I live in one of them) would do well to take heed of this profound write. Well done.
I agree Abdi Noor! Many have to learn the lesson of giving. It is not
for a return otherwise it loses its merit. You put it perfectly,if only others can see it that way!
Great message. If you're going to give someone something, give it. If suspect that they are going to use it in an improper way than don't bother. There should be no strings.
New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
The Wholly Book of Exodus is humorous adult literature that features adult language, situations and content. It is the companion book of Jay Dubya's The Wholly Book of Genesis that satires the entire first book of the Bible.

I couldn't agree more, Abdi-Noor. Far too much preaching these days, and not enough helping.
