Aspersions.

Aspersions.

 

Give and take, I hear people say today.

Some give far less and take more away.

Some take far less and give a lot more.

Which is best I can never really be sure.

 

If i took out far more and gave back less.

Should that make me a different person.

Would your instinct be I am just selfish.

Which could be another false assertion.

 

If I gave away more and took a little less.

Will that make me a much better person.

Would you just think I’m kindly generous.

This could also be an incorrect assertion.

 

What about if I only took what I needed.

Then gave away only what I could afford.

Will that not make me an authentic person.

That could also be an incorrect assertion.

 

You should not expect me to be anything.

Leaving me to be a natural human being.

This would make me just a normal person.

Then that would be the correct assertion.
