Poetry

---

The desire of the righteous is only good,
Expecting wrath for the wicked as should;
Whoever spreads the wealth increases more,
Whoever hoards will not see riches soar;
Did you ever notice a person with greed,
The more they have the more they need;
Keeping up with the Joneses such a trait,
Using credit cards since they can’t wait;
Their human nature just made them forget,
As to merely wonder how they are in debt;
I can tell that they are one of the same,
Who passes by a beggar of having no shame;
Rather keep it all and saving every buck,
Not even helping one down on their luck;
They’re the same ones that don’t know,
Why their bank account just won’t grow;
It’s just a matter just to show you care,
Spreading your wealth around and to share;
When you disperse some that you possess,
God looks upon you with favor and to bless.
