When do we have
Good intent
Or are all motives
Hell bent
Do we ever see
The wood for the trees
Or do we say
Now instead of please
When did we last put
Someone else’s needs above our own
Or are all seeds selfish
And home grown
Some of us try
It has to be said
Not everyone is
As easily lead
Difficult to assess
At least some mind at all
Others only obsessed
With their latest investment shortfall
Could the definition be
A gesture with no gain
Some advice or generosity
With no refrain or distain
Let’s raise a glass
To all those who still care
Mine is a Hogstar
I’ll see you there
