Gods Anger Not Just the Church
If I was God
I'd be angry with the world
I tried to teach the Romans
Christianity
Instead, the Romans
taught the world how to build empires
The Roman taught the world
how to take over countries
and charge then a tribute
call it a tax, call it to tithe
call it what you want
the money of the poor
Is used to pay
for the lifestyle of the rich
In the bible
I told the church
that the tithe ten percent
of your profit belongs to me
I created the world
the tithe was my money
Instead, Kings, Church, and state
Take money of the poor to provide
for a wealthy lifestyle
the rich get rich
well the poor struggle and die
If you had listened to the parable
of talents, you would have created
companies providing jobs for the poor
Granted you had a right to a home and food
but I said blessed are the poor
for they shall inherit the earth
As the head of your country
Your job was to look after people
that needed help
In the good samaritan
I told you to treat each other like neighbors
You had to pay for the medical expenses
you had to pay for accommodation
you had to feed people that needed help
your ancestors made a free health system
your ancestor made a free education system
but now you turn your back on their success
Government spouts we can't afford
we can afford to pay for your retirement
You used the money of the poor
to run your country
for their entire life, people pay tax
if you had invested it you would have money
to pay for peoples retirement
Instead, you waste it giving people handouts
to ensure you get back into power
free education is becoming a dream of the past
With the medical system,
you said Governments can't run companies
we need to have user pays,
in other words, you going,
to turn the medical system
into a commercial system
you're going to charge thousands
of dollars for medical expenses
Governments now pay thousands
of dollars for medication
people can't afford
when economies fail
and Governments can't afford subsidies
people will not be able to afford
medication people will have to walk away
because they can't afford to pay for health
The Rich get Richer and the Poor die
don't expect me to fix your problems
I already told you to invest my money
create the work for the poor
With profits from investment
look after my people like the good samaritan
pay for their medical expenses
with Great power, comes great responsibility
