The Cynic

There are those who walk among us materialistically inclined Their hearts are solely focused on what they'll leave behind ..prized possessions..properties.. ..money in the banks.. ..vehicles and commodities.. ..attaining higher ranks.. They never give a word or thought to disadvantaged others They never see the battles fought by desperate, homeless brothers Yet while their pools are full of water someone's thirst goes unquenched While they offer no food nor shelter someone hungers and is drenched Chandeliers they blaze at night their neighbours to impress while some child squints by candlelight his tender heart much stressed When will the rich feel sympathy for those less fortunate Can they feel an empathy for one subordinate I thank God for all the meekness He has put into my soul Some may say it's weakness but I say it's foretold That some of us will have no fear to speak out for what's right That some of us will have no care for gold nor silver bright That we can warn our rich and proud to share, not hoard their treasure for the cries of hell will sound so loud when they see how God his people measure... 1 Tim 6:17-19: Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
