Hi Susanne,
Yes I quite like this, although I still find your use of English in places awkward, eg -

'And why also do some assume
I dislike different that they hate so upshot
Then very much disliking me,
Putting me down when I do not?'

This is a more compact poem than many of yours, less rambling and more readable, well done.
As for subject - I often think it's not richness that makes people 'bad' but often ignorance of the real world. As many rich people live protected from many of the injustices of the world, they really dont realise what it is like.
Snobbery is a pet hate of mine, but it is found in rich and poorer people I know.
Many rich people do a lot of good for the disadvantaged, many of them without inviting any recognition for it.

Regards
Gem.
