INKlings12

♪INKling no12—wealth♪
 
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  
Matthew 6:20, 21 KJV
 
begrudge not those endowed by circumstances
to marshal earthly substance from the chances
that bless their steps while yours are lean
put not your trust in what is seen
the temporal
is bound by time
too soon to wither
and decline
secure your wealth
by building up
what moth and rust
doth not corrupt
swap not your soul for vain appeal
by hoarding things that men can steal
reserve to fill your treasure chest
the virtues of the human breast
