God is for the wealthy and famous that is of course if there's a God? <br />But not for the poor and the homeless and not for the hungry and down trod <br />Yet many so many poor people to the God of their religion pray <br />But their God only seems to ignore them whilst they grow poorer by the day. <br /> <br />The children of working class parents for God and Country go to war and die <br />Whilst those who send them into battle the fruits of the good life enjoy <br />And for the brave and young fallen soldiers stirring ballads are written and sung <br />And they tell us that the good die noble and that only the real good die young. <br /> <br />And though I do fear the grim reaper the reaper I do have to admire <br />The reaper takes the monarch and the president, the billionaire and wealthy squire, <br />All people will one day be equal it's so true what the poet <br />James Shirley said, <br />The billionaire may have the most expensive head stone but he can't be brought back from the dead. <br /> <br />Perhaps I'm a cynical ratbag and perhaps for my years I'm not wise <br />But I've heard enough of propaganda and our minds have been poisoned by lies <br />And if God exist God is not a kind one to ignore the hungry and poor <br />God is for those with heaps of money and of God's goodness I'm not so sure.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-god-s-goodness-i-m-not-so-sure/
