Compassion

Compassion

A Poem by Winter
"

A little something that me and my classmate came up with for our poster.

"
This is a wicked world
Where people are doomed
When people are struggling
Do not give them your moolahs
Do not give them your pity
Instead give them your love

Out of curiosity, what made you use the word "moolahs" instead of money? It interests me.

Reading the previous review, I have to disagree actually. It reads better as "Do not give them your pity / Instead give them your love" since the lines are more parallel that way, and the second serves as a direct rebuttal to the first. In fact, I think it might read better if you ADDED the word "your" before moolahs, (making the line, "Do not give them your moolahs") so it would match the last two lines and stay consistent with the meter.

Same here. When I get stumped I take out a thesaurus and start looking through it.

Very nice, I think it would read more profoundly without the "your" before pity and love. However, this could just me the way I've read it. Thank you for sharing.
