When Jesus talked about the poor
he knew that there were more of them
than could be fed and freed from debt.
He knew that government systems
would always recreate debt bondage
without seeming to. It is called economics.
But for those who hear his call,
feeding the poor is still worthwhile,
and they will always be out of fashion;
Prosperity Theology is not for them.
When the wealthy and powerful talk
of ending need, the need they most seek
to put an end to is the need to tax wealth,
and redistribute inheritance downwards.
Since wealth is such a blessing for elites,
such that it can't be divided, it can only divide
the elite from those they seek to represent
-the poor know that nothing could succeed
as well as wealth based hypocrisy.
