They Are Rich Yet Very Poor Poem by Qiniso Mogale

They have all the money in the world
They have everything that money can buy
They are wealthy by worldly standards
But they don't have Christ
So they are rich yet very poor.

They have many mansions
They change cars like socks
They own private jets
They have visited every part of the world
They are envied by many people in the world
They are admired by many people in the world
They are saluted by many in the world
They are rich by worldly standards but they don't have Christ
So, they are rich yet very poor.

They dine with earthly kings and queens
They dine with presidents
They walk on red carpets
They are applauded by the masses
But heavenly beings are frowning
No, heavenly beings are not applauding
God looks down at them in dismay
They have heavy bank balances
But they don't have Christ
So they are rich yet very poor.

They are rich yet very poor
They don't have eternal life
They don't have the source of life
They don't have Jesus Christ
They are to be pitied
Yes, they are to be pitied
They have all the money in the world
But they are very poor.
