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.
