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.?
