Is Being Poor A Sin?



iS BEING POOR A SIN?

melvin Banggollay



Is being a poor fellow a sin

for having no means for anything

like wealth we can share to kin

and money to pay everyhting?

Health is wealth yet wealth is health

for poor people who has no wealth

surely begets just poor health

but wealthy people, good health.

This I have seen when I got sick

such that I was not timely attended

by the doctor on duty as I seek

medical assistance for I was on bed.

But when I made an inital deposit

the staff nurse and doctors outwit

the speeding bullet to make a hit

as they treat me with dashing feet.

Can't our doctor cure first the sick

before asking the deposit they seek?

Can't they not cure the needy and poor

before life have to close its door.?
