I like this poem. I think you could expand on it, make it a two-parter and create an even better poem. The poem is almost too elusive, as regards working class, and what or why the questions. It reads as a person of unquestioning faith (a physial hoarder of faith, in a sense) so I'm wondering why the questions. I like the comparison of the childlike to the faithful. Also the use of a word like 'amass'. A good writing. More thought-provoking than it first appears.
