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.
