I gave away my food
To feed the poor
I gave up my home
To shelter the homeless
I gave up my job
For the unemployed
I gave my money to the poor
But after all I gave
My giving was not enough
Because you have not
Been satisfied
I gave up my life, so you may live
I gave my eyes, so you may see
I gave my heart
Full of love and compassion
But after all I gave
My giving was not enough
Because you have not
Been satisfied
I gave you Christ
And you crucified him
I gave you the devil
And you worshipped him
I gave you paradise
But it wasn`t perfect enough
You wanted the world
And I gave you the universe
But after all I have given
You could not be satisfied
So I will give no more
And leave you to be filled
By your own self, shame
Greed and pride

About the Author
Leon Pryce is from the streets of Montego Bay to the world comes a writer who is not afraid to express himself and let you know how he is feeling. Leon Pryce self-published his first poetry book titled Broken Wings as an experiment which turned out to be an astonishing success for a first timer because it out-sold his expectations. That experience has motivated him to wholeheartedly dedicate himself to another book project; a collection which will formally introduce him to the world as a poet with potential and power. A voice which cannot be suppressed, but will echo through the years to come. Immortalized Through Poetry encapsulates the personality of Leon Pryce and will give you the keys to unlocking this eccentric soul. He takes pleasure in offering you the parts of him which he is not ashamed of; that humble, innocent and modest youth who grew up in a small rural community in Jamaica.
