Givers & Takers

Sassy Lou

Give all I have

Got taken for much more

Door always open

To get shut in my face

Help someone in need

Feeds into their greed

Listener of all the woes

To be lied on as the bell tolls

Do more than I should -

Just to get drug through the mud

Givers always give

Takers always take

Never enough give -

Ample take!!

Blinders on, see nothing but good

Used & abused in return

Over & over once more

What is this world coming to -

For goodness sake!

Give all I have

Got taken for much more

Givers always give

Takers always take

        A sad truth but it has always been the case, and they will always just take, nicely expressed and written
