Demand from those who can supply
Default is theirs when they deny.
Even demand becomes a joy
When the thing comes without annoy.
Request has charm from open hearts
Who know the duty on their part.
Like giving even asking seems
From those who hide not even in dreams.
The needy demand for help because
The world has men who don't refuse.
The pain of poverty shall die
Before the free who don't deny.
When givers without scorn impart
A thrill of delight fills the heart.
This grand cool world shall move to and fro
Sans Askers like a puppet show.
Where stands the glory of givers
Without obligation seekers?
The needy should not scowl at "No"
His need another's need must show.
