The Shady Billionaire Poem by Lubinda Lubinda

The Shady Billionaire



Ever wondered where souls go when their time on earth is no more?
well, such is the like of Mr. Schemer
he lived his life as a pompous sinner!
he was involved in all sorts of shady deals
so that he could gain more dollar bills!

Being a wealthy and greedy
he never gave a second thought for the needy
as he amassed a lot of wealth
for himself!

Although, he professed to be a Christian
it was something he'd do half-heartedly!
Because like all luke-warm Christians
it was just a formality!

That is why he would grudgingly say
that he didn't build his empire in a day
and that he wasn't willing to give it away
to the lazy masses
who just sat on their arses
all day as he gave a dollar away!

See, it wasn't like he wasn't given the opportunity
to give to the needy
because, he would see them everyday
on his way to work
and he would just look the other way
even though some of them
were passing away that very day!

Things continued just like that
until Mr. Schemer was robbed at gun point
the ordeal was so much for him
that he had a heart attack
and on the way to the hospital
death came for him as well
and when he woke up found himself in hell!

And in torment he would yell
how could this happen to me?
I thought I was a Christian
but the demons would laugh
and say:
KEEP QUIET, YOU HYPOCRITE!
YOU USED TO PROFESS CHRISTIANITY
BUT NEVER REALLY LIVED IT!
