But then the answer is simple Jesus died and was raised again to life, to show the eternal soul survives beyond death. He also said that earth was next to nothing compared to the heavens, and to seek the riches of earth is folly compared to the riches of heaven, which leads me to disagree with your opinion that men who have no money are lowly scum. Some say it is the value of your heart and what is in it that makes one worthy, and not the gold in his pocket. and to this i agree. Does it make sense to you that rich folk who horde their money and care nothing of the poor and starving will reach a place of love and support, when they denied the poor people their aid? What aid will come to the rich then? If you support a life of greed and think all should be greedy then surely you will be with the greedy and the places where they go, the places where no one cares about you.This is not critique of the poem but a polemic on the views of the author. I am tempted to move it to the Discussion Forum where it belongs, but in consideration of your likely misunderstanding of the Serious Workshopping purpose I shall leave it here as an example of what is not valid critique. At your request only will it be moved/deleted.
