Charity: Leavening of Fool's Gold

~~Does my twenty five thousands worthless paper bills,
 ~~~express twenty five thousand ways of charity,
 ~~~~doth my eye have evil’s way of lustful thrills,
 ~~~~~or an evil way that makes for  vulgarity…

~~~~~My gift of twenty five thousand I now hold in hand,
~~~~halted between two opinions in evil concepts of mind,
~~~now will my heart of gold aptly unfold to the poor man,
~~or shall serpent reveal illusion's affine…(relative)

 ~~I contemplate, my soul the heart’s mate begins relate,
 ~~~serpent mind perplexed as moral of core love vortex,
~~~~releases love’s potion, mercy of will, love’s first mate.
~~~~~Heaven smiles rich uncle’s approval not abate…

~~~~~Uncle’s mission at St Peter’s request, reinvest, 
~~~~worthless paper bills, through pure heart his soul reborn.
~~~Uncle’s choice, successful rejoice in nephew invests,
~~his soul is thus reborn, by works of nephew not scorn…

~~So rich man worldly sell that you have, give to the poor.
~~~Tis the moral of this story, you shan’t have glory,
~~~~worthless paper bills you must convert to heaven’s store,
~~~~~worthless paper turns to vapor, moral of story…

~~~~~Love, the truth verily, paper of the earth worldly.
~~~~Love is power, truth it’s kingdom, infinite Forth Knox,  
~~~exchange your paper for heaven‘s true gold, verily,    
 ~~Spirit’s stock exchange sets free soul out of the mind’s box... 

~~Gift of worldly mother load, I exchanged and bestow,
~~~uncle’s request, converted to love best, gives me chills,
~~~~twenty five thousand bills, the cause of a soul to grow,
~~~~~I bequeath to all needy humans I meet of world’s ills!!!
