Rarely Give Time
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
I spend the time to buy food for the unfortunate.
I spend time to listen to a man of losing his job.
I give money and gifts away out of kindness.
A struggle I can relate to.
In my past, I'm geuninely nice enough to give them food when hungry.
Most pass them by to avoid their cause.
I give the time rarely because not everyone is genuine.
People waste other people's time.
