Law and Play

Emotions may rule a protegé Until they can be mastered for strategy When the swayed can now sway This way, that way in any way While the ardent one in text and context Is thrown off and knows not what's coming next They refrain from emotions in courts of law To rid any persuasion that could lead to flaw But negotiations and bargains remain unbound And therein all shenanigans can be found Wisdom, wit, force among other cards in sleeves Light may enter but it's hard-pressed that it leaves Rain falls and all of God's creation must be nourished But the sly and shrewd fashion the trades to have others famished What curse is this that we sow much only to reap less I take my offering to the Lord in tears and distress That He may sharpen my mind to outwit the wolves To always be ahead of them however fast their instinct evolves And I shall apply to life and wealth the keys to the Kingdom From whence all the seen and unseen come from Amongst my kindred there be increased herds and a purse May God bless us and let no man curse Not to lessen His provision in kind But to know that it's in Him that all things I could find. K. Muitherero.
