Three Pillars of Prosperity

The        	three		pillars
of         	pros-	        perity
are        	peace 	forgive-
ness       	and		love.
Why      	else		would
the       	olive		branch
have      	been    	brought
back      	by		the dove.
Priv-      	ileges		fall
with      	comp-	lacency
like       	sand     	from
the        	hand.	Take
noth-     	ing 		for
grant-    	ed, 		not 
even      	dry		land.
Any       	thing		you
build     	in		this
life       	will		crumble
to        	the 		ground.
Un-       	less		your
three     	pillars	of
pros-     	perity 	are
struct-   	urally 	sound

Phil Capitano December 28, 2016 at 8:00 AM Tremendous use of form to produce this monument to virtue and healthy living. Two thumbs up. Plant A Tree Poetry January 6, 2017 at 2:02 AM Right on man!!!!! It's funny re-reading it. Who would of thought something so seemingly effortless would have taken so long to write. Some fly from the pen as if trying to escape. Some have lead in their feet and want to stay in the pencil.
