poor people are evil

this is why i think poor people are evil .. well i think i was talking about how money made us evil specially poor ones

Why do I think poor people are evil?

And poverty is the act of demon

Well the perfect word should be human

Since the time we invented money

We grew so possessed by acquiring layers and layers of paper thin money

What a shame that we forgot what “god’s” prophesy for us

We are living now in a world that social status is considered more important than saving lives

Disagreement, ignorance, disapproval of others and even wars

Why? Because we can’t have enough … of money  

We are told that money can buy you a bed but not sleep

Girls but not love

Luxury but not happiness

Yet we are raised and taught that without money we are worthless

Weak, unhappy and useless

We are programmed since the day we saw the brightness

Of sun and inhaled the first oxygen atoms

That we are slaves to these green papers and silver coins

When I was young I remember a poor family living beside us 

Hatred, sadness, and desire for killing I could see in their eyes

Like a stray dog ,every day, the daddy comes and goes

I always wondered where is going?

What is he doing for a living?

I thought all kinds of works, cleaning, and building

But all of them are respectful

And I never thought a drug dealer

I also remember a friend’s brother

He was infected by money disorder

So possessed by being rich and climbing the social status leader

He thought with money he would be immortal

Well why lying he did become immortal... or at least his soul

After executing him for creating a massacre

Trying to rob a bank he Killed 10 “rich” people

You see poor people are willing to do everything

Controlled by the green monster in them.

They say money can’t buy you happiness

What nonsense

Humans are greedy persons

They can’t have enough, they’re dangerous

Imagine then if they are poor and useless

well hun.poor people ain't evil.
money ain't evil.
humanity in general is evil. the nastiest beast out there.
money, religion, stupid, and useless laws, boundaries, ignorance, egoism... humanity created all this, and keeps killing over it all. .. by now, our race should be smart...but it's just getting dumber every day. humans keep killing for oil, money, land, and the most disgusting thing ever invented...religion.

well what i was trying to do is criticize our modern society .. poor people where just a way to deliver my idea .

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Well it makes sense, unless you have as we'd say "poor people " in the circle of your friends.
trust me. I have a few...and I've seen the contrary of what one would think... money has less power over them, then it has over those who are "rich "
I ain't no rich kid either, but I'm more of a man than most of the "fortunate ones."

i know what you mean . and agree with you .. some "poor people" are happier and more generous than most of us

[kamran]

You are critiquing a structure that you do not break in your poetry. Do what Wordsworth did. Try to create an alternative world, and contrast it with the present society. If you do not do that, then you fall into false abstractions like God, or to false conclusions that money is something that breeds evil, when it unequal distribution of wealth that does so. Therefore, you are as prone to murder as the next person, it is just that your class privileges keep you 'civilized'.

[Sumo]

Well written, it is sad so many are afflicted by the drive of wealth. My first trip to Jamaica opened my eyes to the polar opposite. Of how life should be lived. I felt I was home and have returned every chance I get. Five trips now and I cry every time I land and when I leave. They have next to nothing and they are so happy. Smiling, laughing and singing with nothing by our societies standards. I yearn to live and contribute there. True wealth and prosperity should be in what we can all do for each other not by what we can do for ourselves.

i know getting away of this rotten society is the best solution one can do .. and truly live the life we were supposed to live .. in harmony with mother nature

[Adesanya Yewande]

This render me speechless, so true, i always ask myself this question is money everything ? people will do anything to have money , to be control by the thin green monster, believing if they have the money nothing seem impossible for them.

I love every line of this poem its portray reality, truth about human nature and what their desire for money can make them do, i love especially that line about immortality, many think of themselves immortal when they are rich and will do anything to acquire the money even if it involve killing of follow humans.

Great work...i love this poem....full rating

[maissa]

thank you very much . i always asked myself the same question and i end up with this poem it my point of view some would disagree but truth has many sides

[Inject Positivity]

First of all, my hat goes off to you... This is an incredible write, each and every line is speaking something very true about our civilized modern society where money is everything, where money means more than a human being... People are killing their own brothers and frnds for money... The rich ones who has money that can cover a whole building still looking for more money... And the poor ones don't even have money to eat food once a week... A recent estimate says that almost 90% of world's money is captured by only 5% of world's population, how amazing this is...

You are very true with your words, you are honest it seems... Most people are writing about other subjects but very few are writing and thinking for our society, so thank you very much for sharing such an amazing thought provoking write....
