The Altruist and the Needy Case
Dory Previn

He has passionnfor ecologynCompassionnfor minoritiesnHe carries printed placardsnTo put an end to warnHe’s a heronHe’s a rebelnwith a half a hundred causesnHe peddles his petitionsndoor to doornnHe’s at home among the homelessnsinging set my people freenHe will marchnwith total strangersnBut he will not walknwith mennHe writes lettersnto his congressmennon Indian indignitiesnBlack mennare his brothersnHe bears collective guiltnHe’s a prophetnHe’s a pacifistnBut tho’ peacenis his objectivenhe has no fear to seenhis own blood spiltnnHis roots are with the rootlessnThat’s where he needs to be. nHe will die nwith total strangers nbut he will not live nwith mennHe feeds and shelters animals. nUnselfish are his deeds. nHe gives away his worldly goods nand has no notion of nmy needs. nLover look away a moment, ntho’ the ghetto cries, nlong enough nto see the hunger in none person’s eyes.nnPassion nfor ecology.nCompassion nfor minorities.nHe weeps to think that anyone ncould ever be nalone.nHe’s a seekernHe’s a saviour nwho strives to nsave the childrennBut he’s never had na child of his own.nnHe’s united nwith the universenHe’s at one nwith stars and seanHe can love nthe whole damned human racenOhnThen why is he nso afraid to be nin love nwith me?n
