We Must Make Good Use of Our Riches
LK 16:1-13
Then he also said to his disciples"A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property.
He summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you?
Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.
' The steward said to himself,
'What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me?
I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.'
He called in his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, 'How much do you owe my master?'
He replied, 'One hundred measures of olive oil.' He said to him
'Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.'
And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently...
The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones;
the person who is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in great ones.
No servant can serve two masters.
He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Taken from LK 16:1-6, 8, 10, 13)
Once upon a time, Billy's wife, Betty, had a boat
that she owned before they were married.
To dock the boat was costing too much money.
So, they brought it home and parked it out back.
I'd say their boat story happened about 30 years ago.
Billy later sold that boat for $500 and a drum set.
He gave Bob, the buyer, a promissory note for $300;
but Bob did not pay the $300 due as promised.
So, Billy went to him and took back the boat.
Sometime later, Billy sold the boat again for $500.
The buyer, Brad, paid $200 down and owed Billy $300.
Brad, like Bob, did not pay the remaining $300. So, Billy went to him and took back the boat.
Sometime later, Billy sold the boat yet again for $500.
Unlike Bob and Brad, this gentleman, Bubba, paid Billy the $500
and took the boat. $200 on the first sale; $200 on the second sale;
$500 on the third sale. My calculations show that Billy and Betty
received a drum set and made $900 on a boat they kept trying and finally sold for $500.
Billy and Betty were happy that they finally got rid of that boat.
Never again were Billy and Betty in the business of selling a boat.

The Ides of March
Spun spells pummel our Earth ... as a Sun scanned absence swallow,
vacuumed blues taxes light once deemed eternal ... plus righteousness,
escapism from existence ... edges evacuation,
Birth ere the latter days ... ventured the laurels that were Rome,
the incarnation of iniquity ... masquerade innocence,
like clovers and thistles ... lure eyes above the common grass,
Furtherance besought ... midst tossed bone for multi contentment,
parades that paralyze souls ... usurp minds to sweeping abandon,
celebratory hails the seasoned ... emblem of power,
The gods and goddesses' palms of warring pulse ... 'tis peacetime,
nonetheless ... tributes adorn the temples of Mars in abundance,
'tis time of awash hands of mere grimes ... toxic suffers freely,
Citizens housed upon Palatine ... the triumphant hill,
felicitations honorable legions ... protectors of Rome,
promissory constants ... declared Remus per Romulus,
Roman Senate played a chess game ... Caesar kept them in check,
every move was scrutinized ... made vulnerable and powerless,
autocracy trumps democracy ... seeds gangocracy,
Plans are planted within plans ... schemes are shrouded inside schemes,
the beast entrails read ominously ... Spurina forewarns the marked,
timely debts to be paid in full ... matters to be settled,
At the Courts of Pompey ... the assembly awaits for him,
armorless donning senatorial garb ... metals pierce a man,
till mute ... last recalls *haruspex, "Beware the Ides of March".
*Haruspex; reading of omens from the entrails of sacrificed animals. The subject of Shakespeare's title play came from his thorough accounting of Plutarch's writings.

What is Money after all
The biggest Security we can have
Locked in Wealth Safe n secure
Immovable Assets
In everyday Liquid
Transactions. In cash
Investments At risk
Diversification is key
Is beautiful in gold
Precious diamonds n jewelry.
Invest in Art as an asset class
Ok Can’t buy love with money
Honey I belong to poor class.
Trust is infallible asset
In God We Trust- Fed
Crypto Bankmen Fried
Funny if Rich in Money
Don’t laugh Crash now is routine
Get serious Toxic is Money
Donate. Gift Charity is best
Enjoy, Consume Till it lasts
worst case scenario:
In bad Fate
Money
Is Loss,
Destruction
Do not store
Steak in a doghouse
The bee toils; collects honey
The wealth is luring; invites heist of hive
Wish I had an alchemists drive: pick up scrap and turn it into gold;
For everyday transaction would need magic to turn a leaf into promissory;
Without these skills, how do I survive The Systems of Modern Day Slavery.
Our Lives Now Entwined Through Mutual Consent
Our lives now entwined through mutual consent
As we agree to face the tests life presents,
Expressed in exchanged vows of matrimony
With wedding rings glistening on our fingers.
In front of kin and friends under umbrellas
(Who bear witness while memories develop),
As audacious thoughts waylay in truth exposed,
When promissory words by us are spoken,
“Before God, we profess our belief in faith,
To love, cherish, and honour one another.”
Then embrace each other with feelings conveyed
And seal with a kiss our future together.
Sanctifying our bond in marital union
Beyond an objector’s inapt interruption.
A cascade of autumn leaves lying scattered all around
in faded pale light, nostalgia is tucked in some bygones
forest air still redolent of pink azaleas profound,
reclaiming back those moments in images and icons.
In faded pale light, nostalgia is tucked in some bygones.
riding that chariot of rainstorm, did we not then dance?
reclaiming back those moments in images and icons,
promissory of dreams, beckoning rainbow of romance.
Riding that chariot of rainstorm, did we not then dance?
remember under that tree, I dissolved in your wrapped arms
promissory of dreams, beckoning rainbow of romance,
molten moments of candle wax, awakened in your charms
Remember under that tree, I dissolved in your wrapped arms,
forest air still redolent of pink azaleas profound.
Molten moments of candle wax, awakened in your charms.
A cascade of autumn leaves lying scattered all around.

two graying doves make music
they were sitting at a bar,
two graying doves
she kept looking,
he kept looking
she then asked him,
what's he looking at
what's cooking hon?
he had to think fast, real fast
he had to say something for his heart was a beating,
angels were playing his harp
and his horses were neighing, too
and ... let me tell you his horse, they were really neighing
and so eager to race out of their stables,
so eager, let me tell you
he responds, his hands shaking
he reminds himself to say something captivating to win her over
she then hears the horses in his voice, stampeding
so unique and cute
the stutter, blush,
she's turned on
by now she has horses neighing in her cache, too
he's having an effect on her
she hopes ... it stretches
he begins
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
perfect, one and done
she seals him kiss, a promissory note
he smiles back, he was seasoned all along
.... they toast two graying doves transformed into two loving butterflies
they laugh as the walls in the bar begin to perspire
by now she's in Heaven on a crescent moon, singing,
dreaming about being high a top a tree,
sliding down. She stops. She grabs his hand,
before it's too late.

"The Fresh Blooding of a Sexton Grin"
Guns ...
are for p*ssies
you know, short for
pussilanimous plural
Words …
are sharper
more cutting
more lethal
clean
concise
quill slicing the lucid flow
you can taste the blood
as you turn them
twist them further in
with valour
war cry bitten
you drive them deeper in
you unsheathe love
as a hard win,
victorious, won
ink blooms
potent power from
your stellar wounds
darkened roads
shining home
lux vitae dei vox
Home ...
morning star
quod scripsi scripsi
turns the light on
to birth puissant
in the majestic
seat of third eye
commanding
the truest titulus
initials glowing
arriving on cloudy tomes
perilously igniting
new fiery caims
swallowing
ouroboros tales
hear the battle cry
you were built
to withstand the fall
to more mighty again rise
the gauntlet
now well
and truly thrown
something
more darkly formidable
than shady insult sown
sink your new teeth in
fresh biting warrior
I christen you Boadicea
blood cup possessed
razor mind in you conjuring
the tongues of hearts to speak
there is no escape
for in you, I am and
I will always live
crucifying
all the wasting yesterdays
with fresh blooded promissory notes
staking claims of assurance
in the terror firmer
here to stay
sharpening
words taken
from a stone
n'ere a flowery
verbose drip
wasted
salting
the new cuts
to feel something vital
smiling within
fresh blooding
the Sexton grin
