How rich oppress the poor.Taken from my series Political scavengers series
Woe to the rich that refuse the poor
Woe to the mighty for there’s an almighty
Woe to the potent for a time comes the omnipotent
Woe to the strong for there waited the stronger
Your elasticity has a limit
At the limit it will break
The rich also cries, richer cries
The rich also weeps weary tears
The rich also borrows with weightier debts
The rich also excretes, costly waste
The rich have always been afraid of the poor. Being rich, somehow gave them power over poor people all around them. They thought they were better because they were rich and others were not. Hence, down through history the rich have accepted the role of abuser and protector of the poor.
