We shall buy and sell and get gain

seeking fame and fortune, we say we shall go
to some high
mountain, far away, and ask a boon

from the rich man hiding for his hoping heΕ› right,
building bigger barns or take the usury...

I wonder, which did he choose, he
who saw no Jesus
in me, but then heard joy is my strength

and had second thoughts, but
one more test,
beyond do you believe in God, big g, yes,

he axes me
do you think
you are saved, I laught. He invites me to his retreat.

Least said, soonest mended, but no

not me,
I say. Yes. And I take my answer, from the sage,
what he said next,
at the end of that quest
unasked

he says there are two ways to promote

--- I say stop, I got the idea virus, from the source
--- I can use your money, but not for
--- fame, only fortune.

Because aitia makes me, Ai ai ai,
I do
know chapter and verse, psalm 75:6-7

But, Least said, won that round, and my experiment
in defining the Pauline admonition after
the full and empty idea,
the one about
exercising oneself in godliness, goes on.
Ah, the burden of not caring what a rich man thinks.
