Gold

Greed is not a financial issue. It’s a heart issue.
—Andy Stanley

Gold

feel free to share
         insidiously
      to murder
   decree
what’s not worth
         gold
      a drop in a bucket
   you kick the bucket
but
         it’s not your bucket
      list
   goes on
      with no memorial
a gazillion
        candles in heaven

so clever how you transitioned from kick the bucket into not your bucket list. Loved that part.
