    The poem "The Gods We Worship Live Next Door" by Bienvenido Santos discusses the worship of wealthy people in society. It describes the rich as "Gods" who are obeyed by others for their money and power. The poem shows the conflict between the rich social class, who are seen as Gods, and the poor, who must obey the rich in order to survive. It ends by noting that while these current Gods will die, their children will inherit their wealth and status, becoming the "junior Gods fast growing tall" to take their place.

    1. Describe the Speaker (persona) in the poem in relation to the Gods mentioned.

    - I think he is against the people thats obeying/worshipping the rich people, Its not the fault of the rich
    people its the fault of the people thats obeying their orders in order for them to survive.

    2. How are the Gods described in the poem?

    - I think the Gods here is the rich people that is being worshipped by other people because nowadays
    when youre rich and can buy what you want, you will have more friends, its like you can have anything.
    Because some people nowadays want to worship money and thats the thing I dont like.

    3. What two social classes in conflict are discussed in the poem?

    - The difference of the rich and poor. If youre rich you will be worshipped by others because of the
    money you have and you the power to manipulate the people thats obsessed in money. If youre poor
    you should obey the rich to survive, just like Gods.

    4. Explain the last two lines Oh, we outlive them all, but there are junior Gods fast growing tall.

    - The junior Gods is their children because theyre just going to pass their money to them to make them
    the new God
