What do you mean, Joey has it?
It's unfair he got his first.
I'm far more deserving.
Do you hear the demons' gurgle
As that whisper leaves your lips?
You ask me to feed the hungry?
It's better that they forget
The taste of fat.
Do you feel the demons' fire
As your penury fuels the flames?
Turn up the heat, it's cold tonight?
I suggest you don a sweater,
Here's one I cast off a year ago.
Do you smell the oil smoking
As they ready your bath in hell?
___________________________
We know you've worked so hard
And reaped but small reward.
Did you take time to share
The fruits of your labour?
Ah, avaricious sinner,
'Tis you who's earned my prayers.
Heed this gentle warning,
Give alms away, today.
