Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.

Billions are wasted on ineffective philanthropy. Philanthropy is decades behind business in applying rigorous thinking to the use of money.

Undue importance
Histories are written by winners.
Charities are run by culprits.
Mercies are shown out of guilt.
Philanthropy is an act of sinners.
Attach to them no undue importance.

Unselfishness is unreasonable
Every action of yours or anyone’s
Springs up from some self wants-
To want to get or get out-
By a motive that can be
Instinctual, biological,
Psychological or ethical.
So service, sacrifice, generosity
And philanthropy are carpets,
With self wants underneath.

Northern white people love the Negro in a sort of abstract way, as a race; through a sense of justice, charity, and philanthropy, they will liberally assist in his elevation.

Philanthropy is involved with basic innovations that transform society, not simply maintaining the status quo or filling basic social needs that were formerly the province of the public sector.

A Physics Teacher
I’m never that scared
Cause there’s Eeh-em-see Squared(E=mc2)
No kinetic ever shared
It was one’s great nightmare
To be sure and be fair
To them I must share
But of you, your answer
To my question’s my fear
A physics teacher
She’s a great leader
She’s sir Paul’s sister
And choi-choi’s mother
I’d better surrender
In physics, it’s better
But to make it more clearer
I’ll be out of this crater
I know ‘bout psychology
And you know my strategy
I wish to keep it in Secrecy
Cause it’s just my philanthropy
Happy teacher’s month
Hope that science still you’ll hunt.
I really love this one
The science 5 minus 1
Hope you’ll see the real me
Even if the only way’s to peel me
But this I’ll make sure to thee
It’s me.In the right time you’ll see

i Know the Blind
i know a blind
Person when i
See one
Seen'em all
But only once
Crawling tall
i know the blind
Has much to
See
Sing in the rain
Muffle the sound
Myself falling down
i have much to be
Ganged by the gain
Of the tease
i distrust such
Philanthropy on the
Steets
Walking on me
With hovering
Feet
The blind or the fog
Let the fog cover
Me
i know a blind
Person when i
Hear one

Make That Money (Scrooge's Song)
When I was a boy
I never played with toys
Never had a friend
Never laughed or cried much
And when I was a boy
My father was a man
With a strict and sturdy hand
No soft touch
Make that money, make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Gotta make that money
Make that money, listen sonny
Learn to sting before your stung
Now that I'm a man
Every penny has been planned
I'm financially grand
And perfectly greedy
Sentimental fools
I make all your rules
I've got your cash, got your jewels
They're all mortgaged to me
Make that money, make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Gotta make that money
Make that money, listen sonny
Learn to sting before your stung
And I know
'Cause he told me so
Told me soI believe him
I still believe...
Give me that money
Controlling all your cash
I could make you live in trash
I eat pheasant, you eat hash
No philanthropy
But when it's time for me to croak
Bury me with all my dough
And where there should've been an oak
My private money tree will grow
Make that money
Said make that money
Make that money run like honey
On your tongue
Told me so
Told me so
He told me so

The Muse Of A Bard
This is the muse of a bard:
Isometrics and macrocosm,
Microbe and schlasticism,
Scientology and physiology,
Philanthropy and gynaecology,
For what he was is not what you see today.
A woman in love needs only one man,
For the synthesis of love do have many branches;
And this is the muse of a bard in the land of the living!
For what he was is not what he is today.

People Of Goodwill
The more one is charitable towards another,
More donations are expected to causes created.
And at one time philanthropy was a safe haven,
For those who were crooks...
To show themselves as people of goodwill,
And humanitarians!
Today those same thieves,
Are attempting to prove helping others...
Will eliminate them from doing good deeds.
Since an increase in their taxes,
Will force them to decrease...
Opportunities they've used to force others to bleed,
As a write off many of greed had grown accustomed!

Sorrow
life is a mystery
existing in the recesses of the heart
innermost
can not be revealed
when the burning heart
by revenge
revenge is only a catastrophe
sorrow and destruction we
when the fire burns
in chest
revenge fire only
destroy
civilization
when cities
burnt
children crying
in the living father
and the mother]
abandoned love
philanthropy

A Dream Romantic Life Is!
Love, beauty and joy are romantic in life;
Flowers, birds and fish are colourful ever;
This joy of beauty and love is earth's abode.
Where else can we enjoy these in Universe?
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are
Always one after the other for change ever!
Nature loves change to make life full of joy
Never in the least boring to live on the Earth!
Variety in life Nature bestows due to love
That never gives less but ever bountiful!
Generosity and philanthropy make life light
For all beings to enjoy and float in dreams!
Man's life is like a dream all romantic beings
Live to enjoy and vanish when times comes!

From all evil against which the law bars you, you should be barred, at an infinite distance, by honour, by conscience, and nobility. Does the law require patriotism, philanthropy, self-abnegation, public service, purity of purpose, devotion to the needs of others who have been placed in the world below you? The law is a great thing, — because men are poor and weak, and bad. And it is great, because where it exists in its strength, no tyrant can be above it. But between you and me there should be no mention of law as the guide of conduct. Speak to me of honour, of duty, and of nobility; and tell me what they require of you.
