Holding Out For the Highest Bidder

why Is It that so few have so much and so many have so little? where is the equality? where is the justice? why is there world hunger? when there is food aplenty locked up in storehouses and silos? holding out for the highest bidder, while rats and mice are getting fatter feasting on the surplus why is there homelessness? when there are apartments and homes sitting vacant Is It not better to get some rent than to get no rent? holding out for the highest bidders a woman placed her last two coins into the basket as an offering, a tithe a rich man put twenty coins into the basket. Jesus said "she has given her all" while the rich man only gave a token her faith and trust in God will get into the Kingdom of Heaven but the rich man will not enter for the Kingdom of Heaven Is not holding out for the highest bidder
