A lady entered her million dollar house
With all the shopping bags in her hands
Her body was a live’ add of all the famous brands
She just bought a watch for 5 grand
She called her nanny to give her a hand
Nanny had tears in her eyes; she was in pain
The lady asked her, “what happened?
With the picture in her hand
She asked to borrow 500 dollars
As her mother passed away in Thailand
The land lady said, “oh honey”
You are in pain, I can understand
We’re broke,we just bought a new land
Tonight my husband and I are
going on vacation to Switzerland
You can grow big and expand
but remember; if you don’t share
You are useless like a swamp-land

Love this message. This reminds me of praying for someone with whom you have the means to help but instead of offering the help, they offer prayer instead. “Words without action are useless. “

So poignant. I love how you show that the woman has lost all sense of how much money she has and has become truly useless to her neighbor, society and the world.

Just shows how selfish people can be. They have no thought about spending money on unimportant things like a watch or designer clothes but baulk at the though of giving money to someone in need. People are so materialistic these days and compassion for others has been forgotten about!
