The Haves and Have Nots: a Brief Essay

The Haves and Have-Nots

A Brief Essay

 

It is very easy for those who have

To feel superior to those who do not have.

The rationalization is:

If I have

Then why don’t you?

 

A simplistic logic posits

That the “other”

Does not have

Due to some innate failure,

A moral turpitude,

A lack of drive,

A lower moral standard that

Has caused some paternalistic deity to

Suppress their ability to obtain the “have”

 

The Devil is a wily one.

He makes you think that

Because you have

Then you are blessed

 

There is no better way to keep you from God

Than to wrap you in the illusion of God.
