MJ,
Great message, my friend. We are all the same, there are no important people and none that are unimportant. One day, all will be stripped away and we will see the truth. Nice! Thanks!

Maria, this is a powerfully great message of the differences between the rich and the poor. I was reading just yesterday the on of the internet giants is worth 100 billion dollars. Just how many people could he help with that money even to a poor man or woman who is struggling to make end meet $1,000 could mean the difference between life and death. Patricia

I've thought for many years now, that the only difference between us is paper thin thread. Stripped of clothes and possessions we all look the same. Beautifully written Mariam this is a marvellous interpretation of the artwork, well done, blessings, Roy

You too Maria
Comment from pbomar1115
This person sounds a little unmotivated to beg for help. I don't think they make a convincing plea for help. She is in no position to make a contributor to her well being feel at fault.

Thanks for reading, Phillip.
P. S. My poem was a plea to those who have too much. And a commentary of the material differences in the world.

I really do know what you meant, Maria. That's my fault. I'm sure others would see it differently.

Comment from Bucketlist
Maria, this is a great poem comparing attitudes. Your simple style ( not insult or negative )
Is succinct in content, yet packs images very well. I enjoyed reading it. And I'm in awe of your literary talent
Hugs, Trisha

Comment from Asem.inspirations
Good morning, Maria: This poem touches my heart deeply. You have penned the words that I see on may face in the trains and everywhere, on the way to work. I hear your words in the voices of many who beg and plead for some form, any form of help. I always try to keep single dollars in my pockets to give to some of them but there are usually so many, on the way to work, that I have to pick and choose who to give to each day, as I don't have much. I usually give to those who really look hungry and homeless, especially the children. It breaks my heart that there are so many living this way. I can't wait until this world is a better place.
Your poem is written very well. It certainly deserves a six. I should have read it tomorrow as I will have six sixes then.
Hey, I wonder if you are getting the notifications for my posts. The last one was
"Faked Happy for Cheated Dreams"
Anyway, please have a marvelous day. Much love...

I'm not sure about the notifications as I haven't posted since last weekend. I'll look for your poem now.
Thanks for your kind review.
Comment from BOO ghost
A picture this challenge. Nice looking presentation. BOO's favorite quatrain: I know you see me,
I'm in your conscience.
When you ignore me,
Your soul bleeds pain.
Love the whole darn thing.
you done a great job at this prompt.
BOO-tastic!~

Thanks so much for your lovely review.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written heartfelt poem. The wealthy often look down on the poor and needy, but they forget that one day we will be judged all the same, for what we did and what we did not do.

Comment from Dean Kuch
My grandma Cook used to do all of her shopping in Richmond, Indiana. She was often confronted by the homeless for a handout and although Grandma didn't have much herself in the way of monetary riches, she always managed to give them something.
They would utter things like, "God bless you, dear lady," and Grandma would smile and tell them they were welcome. After they were out of earshot, she would shake her head and murmur, "There but for the grace of God go I."
I never understood what she meant then. But as I grew older, I soon realized her intent for saying what she did.
Now, I couldn't agree more.
