              PROSPERITY
          By ... Steve Lucky

Prosperity does not always come to the good.
It comes to the evil unlike it should.
What does God intend with this plan?
Individuals are able to do what they can
To prevent this horrible injustice from spreading.
Good, evil, or both might be found in the heading.
Righteous giving is something emphatic
Because success for good people is not automatic.
Differences between good and evil are true
Not done for rewards that come into view.
Who prospers depends on what is done.
Part of it can be controlled by everyone.
Some people have greater control than others.
Many innocent people one cruel leader smothers.
For those many people to cope,
They deseperately need a source of hope.
Hope can be found in people nearby.
On these people many of them will rely.
Additional help comes from more distant lands
From people not afraid to disobey cruel commands.
Wicked neighbors and dictators of the world
Can become prosperous with the proper events unfurled,
Yet many people still insist on what is right.
Upon their beliefs they are willing to fight.
Kind people may not always find prosperity,
But no one can deny their sincerity.
Good things happening to just one
Makes others feel it was a job well done.
