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!!! For contest: I helped the Needy For and in honor Carol Brown
