Hello Gershon! A powerful Senryu! I liked your comment to Tom especially. Death is the only true democracy...it spares none of us.

Too much greed around Gershon, everything gained by greed stays here, you come in with nothing and go out the same way. Good luck. Tom

Excellent point. A greedy rich man is no better than a poor Biblical slave, who goes into servitude with nothing and comes out the same way (after paying off his debt, or at the onset of the Sabbatical year, whichever comes first. ~ gw
