IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?<\/p>\n

Is it really worth it,
\nThe way we slave away,
\nMaking someone else rich,
\nLiving on meager pay?<\/p>\n

The elite rule this world,
\nWhile the crumbs we are fed,
\nThey keep on raising prices,
\nAnd tax us till we’re dead.<\/p>\n

But God has a Kingdom,
\nWhere righteousness reigns,
\nSomeday we’ll join Him there,
\nBe freed from all our pains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
