In a free society the greedy
One has the opportunity
To gain more wealth.
Does it bother you
That he may use stealth?
Are you jealous of the rich?
Do you envy what others have?
Why not be thankful for what is yours?
Live your life and do your chores!
Let the rich and poor abide in their courses
Without bringing on the corrupt forces
To mandate equity and “justice”
As if it is within the power of man to bring
To this earth with all his corruption and dearth
Of ability to know even Right from Wrong!
Pay attention to your own well-being
And be glad that you have that bread
And don’t let it get to your head.
You wouldn’t have a thing without Him
The One who brings us out of the din.
So quit with the envy of others’ goods!
There are many in lousy neighborhoods,
Lacking what you take for granted!
On His grace you need to be enchanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
