100 PIECES OF SILVER

100 pieces of silver in your hand.

What will you do

with all this new found money?

Will you eat

towards your hearts content

or invest it

to get some more poured in your hand?

Don’t tell me

that you will save it for a rainy day

when its raining outside.

We must live a day at a time

or the overwhelming World

will defeat you.

100 pieces of silver

is for a homeless person.

How will he

honor the power of money?

Does money

even have power to a non-believer

who is atheistic

about financial capitol?

Life is confusing or confusing is life

as we walk

backward or forward in our strife.

Silver coins

only creates a temporary happiness

whilst Faith is eternal, and

the love of god

is our investment earnings

succeeding

anything in this World.

If my dwelling

was a shack of timbers

and a roof of tin

and enough food to live day by day

as long as I have Jesus

in my heart, I’ll be ok.

The 100 pieces of Silver

I would return to God.

Pass some of them

to much needier people than I

Hungrier than I.
