Ode to the Road
They say the road to hell
is paved with good intentions
Philanthropy lauded in the news
Love of the limelight for altruism
Millions spent by famous ones
who garner billions upon billions
start foundations seeking donations
from peasants in need of charity
But the road to heaven
is paved with an old woman’s
last two tiny copper coins
