Poetry Post 88

Bigots II
Peter said "for a certainty God is not partial"
Also His Gospel is not martial
God sees equal as fair
Joint benefactors and heir
Whether man or woman
There is no ban
Whether Jew or Greek
God loves the meek
Whether slave or free
God looks at you with equality
Despite your selfish pride; the Negro, Woman and Jew
Are all equal to you

(for clarification I use the term Negro for rhythmic fitting and use it as a term of righteous pride as Martin Luther King used it not in the aforementioned selfish pride of a racist also I used Biblical passages from Acts 10 and Galatians 3)

Trickle Up Theory
Poor man works for a cheap government job
A fireman, teacher, librarian whatever just another working class slob
Goes in overdrive and over in debt
To let his children have what they want to get
For his daughters Gucci, Starbucks and Versace
Just to keep in fad and be the neighborhood hottie
And when the sons have some money to burn
It's music, movies and porn
The money disappears like evaporation
Rising back to some dog eat dog corporation
That won't buy anything from a local store or diner
They pay a slave owning top of the line fashion designer
And the rich sell more for more and buy more for less
Keeping the poor in distress

Intellectual Wisdom
The status quo
Is the intellect's foe
The more you ask the more you know
Don't let ignorance grow
Rules help us monitor and regulate
But first we must go investigate
See if we're planting seeds of love or of hate
Before it's too late
Caesar's things to Caesar but first God's things to God
Let He who's perfect use the rod
Judge and you shall be judged
Learn to love let go of your grudge
