pierced


“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.” 1 Timothy 6:10

tempted to plant myself
in the rich soil of greed,
may i
care more for the poor
than my portfolio;
find shelter for the wanderers
before buying a second home;
buy as many groceries
for the food bank
as i do for my own needs;
bandage the skinned souls
of those tripped by
the indifference of the world
