The cupboard is full, but for you it's empty!

The cupboard is full, but for you it's empty!

Only hope was given

to those in need

but nothing was given

to those that needed.

Empty platter anyone!

Help yourself!

oh my...surprising cynicism from you andrew! you have laid bare the powerful of all ilk and platform .. i can not help but think of how it may be for such as in your poem ...as they stand alone before God (as the Bible tells me so) it is written we will all have a surprise coming :O deep thinking, clever word use, striking irony and social cynicism .. well done my friend!

help yourself to nothing.
