I have earned what I have
I don’t want to share it
You talk of mercy
I prefer merit
You speak of grace
Of helping the poor
I say work harder
If you want to have more
You mention favor
By birth and by breed
I say so what
I have more than I need
Why should you care
What I do with my stuff
Only I really know
When I have enough
I don’t care about mercy
Merit matters the most
I deserve what I have
Mercy offers no boast
Proverbs 11:28 KJV
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
