We sympathize with the poor
And we antagonize the rich
One perceived as good
And the other is evil
Why?

Both the poor and the rich
Have their own troubles

Recent events,
The church crumbles
And many rich denoted
Yet, given criticism
"Why not use the money to help the poor?"
The public said

What does that concern you?
Screaming at the walls
Asking someone's money
To help another cause
Maybe, that person does
But doesn't do it publicly
Because they might get criticized, as well
Right?

If you are so concerned about someone lending money to another cause,
Where are your bucks?
Put your money where your mouth at?
And YOU make the donation yourselves

What now? Quiet?
Instead screaming at someone's ears
Why don't YOU contribute?
"But I don't have money to do that!!!"
Then shut up!

You see why?
There's a struggle for both the poor
And the rich?
