Poor Rich Man/ Poor Man, Rich

Poor rich man, loved for all his cash,
poor rich man, fears a rat-race crash,
poor rich man, full of tread-mill stress,
wishing now for less.
Poor rich girl, clothes and “friends” galore,
poor rich girl, always wanting more,
poor rich girl, life of glitter, shallow,
glitz and glamour hollow.
Poor man, rich in faithful friends,
poor man, values what God sends
– succour, and sees past things transient,
and has found content.
Poor girl, rich in steadfastness,
poor girl, rich in godliness,
poor girl, rich in prayer and faith,
rich in things of worth.
Looking at his disciples, he said, ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.’ Luke 6:20

In some people luxury creates an induced feeling of necessity
In some people luxury creates an induced sense of necessity.'Always wanting more' is astute'
But does being poor always lead to goodness? I think that sometimes it leads to anger and self-pity.However I have more tolerance for miserable poor people than I do towards miserable rich people.
