Chuck Feeney is from Elizabeth in New Jersey Perhaps the greatest person on this earth today <br />To charities and to other worthy causes he has given four billion dollars away <br />A renowned philanthropist and a quiet achiever for the betterment of mankind a huge part he play <br />And yet he never does make the news headlines this quiet man with so few words to say. <br /> <br />Chuck Feeney was a battler who made it good and from small beginnings he became a great success <br />And he is one who does not hoard his billions he has brought to others such great happiness <br />If every billionaire were even as half as generous the World might well be free of poverty <br />There are no words one could use to describe him this philanthropist with humility. <br /> <br />He turned seventy two on his last birthday and such good and worthy causes he embrace <br />And the World is better for him living in it he is a credit to his clan and race <br />And may he live on to be over one hundred this philanthropist from the U.S of A <br />To charities and to other worthy causes he gives millions of dollars every day. <br /> <br />To me he is the World's greatest person one well might say he stands for anti greed <br />And every day he gives to worthy causes and despite his wealth a simple life he lead <br />Chuck Feeney the unassuming humanitarian restores my lost faith in humanity <br />And if every billionaire were half as generous the World might well be free of poverty.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chuck-feeney/
