GIVE SENSIBLY

Generous n benevolent if you are, it's simply great.

But spoil do not a poor man's future at any rate.

Alms please do not randomly to beggars give;

Of their future n that of our society, do try to conceive.

Lazy, people become when grants and alms are given.

Promote them instead to business small do, n their bread earn.

Educate them in technical proffesions to carry on work.

Proffesions
like carpentry, farming, plumbing many shirk.

Understand n  teach we must dignity of labour n hard work

Giving alms indiscriminately, them towards begging lures.

Give sensibly, to the poor. Think of various choices

Inculcate business-sense of small scale into them.

Sell they can initially balloons, flowers, combs, little things.

Slowly this selling will bring in profit, and give them wings.

It's entirely upto you now; what you wish, sow you will that seed.

Grow thereafter will roses, or thorny shrubs n weeds.

Lazy  beggars destroy society; please do think before you give.

To buy them pins, or combs or little useful things, a plan I have conceived.

It's in hands yours, what to do; lies this responsibility on your shoulders.

Bridges and walls for their construction, both need boulders.
