It’s so easy to be good with Paypal
If you remember the password
So quick, I do it all day long.
£25 to Oxfam and $13 to some American online magazine
£15 per month to  our Samaritans and a  one off to Syrian refugees.
There’ll be more one-offs ,  I think
I won’t notice when I get my bill
Amid the Sainsburys home delivery ; the wool jumpers from Marks;
A book about Palestine ; my brother’s gift;
Green amber for my sister’s Xmas necklace;
Books for Lin and tokens for the children
Cards from Amazon
And  me being unwell, postage stamps bought on line
I won’t notice I  get the Guardian delivered and also donate online.
There are so many items on my bill, God could be living with me!
It’s even easier to sign  petitions
Demanding    my name to go  on a  list
Fo worthwhile, life-saving  political events
Or for me to like a page on Facebook.
This is post-modern charity:
A card, a password, a tick in a box.
There, that didn’t hurt too much, did it?
Did it?
