Once I/'/ve thus repaired and lifted you,
having shed your lowness for my way,

how I saved, yes saved, your soul today.

Ah, clever. Kind of wags a finger at the commercials and the like you see of companies(which are already bad enough themselves) bragging about the good they do, like Citibank/'/s paid advertisement a while back(and when I say a while, I mean as far back as 3-5 years) on internet videos about how they benefit communities/'/ building and so on.

There/'/s an important lesson to be learned, with this and the verse itself, as well as a need for me to reflect on some things I/'/ve considered and thought.

It also reminds me of what Thoreau said in Civil Disobedience: "The man who gives everything of himself entirely, is seen as selfish, but he who gives of himself moderately, he is seen as selfless..."(paraphrased of course)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
