Sonnet: Trust Not The Rich

The world is large but people’s minds are small! They do not trust the God who loves man much; They blunder often, repeatedly fall; They want their hands to have the ‘golden touch’! Beware of nations rich with much resource; They lead the world in every field they choose; They steer the poorer ones clearly off-course, And hang their economy’s neck by noose! The world today doesn’t care for poorer men; The rich usurp all pow’r and ill-treat rest; They neglect downtrodden and poor brethren; The poor can’t rise although being the best. Don’t trust the rich but stay independent; The rich make slaves out of those dependent! Copyright by Dr John Celes 1-28-2010
