Under Rater



___Under rater____
Is it because you wear good cloth
that is why you think you are better
than somebody else? , then you are a fool.
you that you are living in exil of your father's house
and you sneek in and out like a thief that have
nothing to steal but to beg for bread.
Even the cloth you claim you buy is it not
That you borrow money to complete the balance?
expecting when your father who have worked hard
for his own money to fling money to you? .
Is it because you have a beautiful handsome face?
That's is why you said someone else is ugly
You that some people are just managing
You are now saying you can't mingle
With some bunch of fools.
You want to abuse somebody that they are poor.
Fine your father is rich but what about you
Can you buy two new bicycle? .
No, capital No.and you said
Someone is poor.My brother then what are you too? .
You're laughing at someone traveling with legs,
But yet you are also borrowing money from someone before
You travel at all.
My brother who are we suppose to laugh at.
You or poeple who kept their shame under
Their own garment.
You might be walking together
because fate brought you together
Even if you are better than them.
Will that make bank, credit your account? ,
Or add to the years you are going to use on earth? .
You live a social life yet not much of you is real.
You use the most expensive things yet
You didn't buy them with the works of your hand.
If you think you are better than somebody.
I will advice you to compare yourself with the dead
Let us see if you are better than them or not.
We are who we are because God made us who we are
If they make unfunny jokes or talk with no sense,
Who are you to critize them.
Is it not because they love you that is why they love
To play with you but you are filled with pride.
Things of life that can come and go.
We have heard of the rich that became poor.
We have heard of the poor who became rich.
So if today you dress well my brother small small oo
And if today my brother you don't dress well they are now
Trying to remove you from setting my brother
What they are telling you is go and work hard
So you can be more than 'us'.and if tomorrow
Perhaps you are more than them.remember
The main reason for wearing cloth is to cover
Our nakedness.
If today they use expensive things and
Then they laugh at you because you are using cheep
Things my brother laugh at them because they are telling
You that tomorrow is for you while today is for them.
But remember If you hit it tomorrow, expensive things
Can never last eternity only one thing which is
The blessings of God.
