Olympiad

Among the many,
   with their infinite postures to love
   postulate the feign of wealth
   and the aquisition thereof;
So much to have and so much not,
   there is always 'less' than more to hold
   and to have

Thine eye is full of witnessing 
   no gold could buy;
Though endless its glitter ----
   a sea of good fortune
A mountain but its footstool too high;
   the fool sits unbeknownst on his hill,
   blind for silver and all that shines;

They call him 'greed' on whom who fears
   the unwritten scripture:

' Among the many, only love champions' a solution'

Love is everywhere. I like the greed of one, written by your pen. Keith, my fav line is --Though endless its glitter ---- a sea of good fortune.......... Awesome imagery, I admit. Hugs. LINDA
