The Basic Necessities Fund
The Basic Necessities Fund
Author: Mark V. Markov
It's very Biblical
To contribute to a helping fund
That sends out a payment
Towards basic necessities
For everyone
For all,
From the ages of sixteen and up
To receive
Monetary help
Towards the basic necessities
When everyone buys a lottery ticket
The money accumulates
And goes towards the jackpot
Which is set towards
The basic necessities fund
And if someone wins,
The jackpot of the lottery.
They will pay,
Their lottery taxes on it.
With that money going into,
The basic necessities fund.
And from that fund
Monthly payments will be sent out
To everyone
Ages sixteen and up
There is no sin
When people contribute
with a hope to win
when people contribute
To a fund
That helps everyone
It's very clean
It's very Biblical
And if more people will contribute
By buying the ticket
As many more people will play
The bigger the jackpot will become
On the first and second try
And if no one wins
After the two tries.
The whole jackpot
Will be added to the basic necessities fund
From where the monthly payments
Will be sent out to everyone.
Ages sixteen and up.
That way everybody wins.
There is no sin
When people contribute
with a hope to win
when people contribute
To a helping fund
That sends monthly payments
To everyone
It's very clean
It's very Biblical
And if more people will contribute
By buying the ticket
As many more people will play.
The bigger the jackpot will become
On the first and second try
So if no one wins
After the two tries.
The whole jackpot
Will be added to the basic necessities fund
With monthly payments
To be sent out to everyone.
Ages sixteen and up,
That way everybody wins.
It's a win win situation.
If someone wins the jackpot
They will pay the lottery tax
Towards the basic necessities fund
And if they don't win,
After the two tries.
All the jackpot money will go,
Into the basic necessities fund.
Then the lottery,
Will restart again...
