For what it's worth,
You'd have to be
the dumbest person
on Planet Earth
to give prosperity doctrine
anything but side-eye,
cold shoulder,
or silence in reply.
Tithe 1/10th
to a monolith travertine?!
To a tax-exempt
money-minting machine?!!
Why, so vulture capitalists
in sheep's clothing like Osteen
can marginalize huddled masses
or underserve the underclasses?
I don’t mean to be rude,
but, for what it’s worth, Dude,
one buck burned
for every ten you’ve earned?!
Strikes me as a present day étude
to yesteryear’s indentured servitude...
