Talentless

Talentless

The Parable of the Talents

For the life of me, I greave
for the Slave who did receive
One Talent.
One Talent is not much, and this
slave hid it in a plot,
as he was afraid he lost the lot,
The other two, invested and gambled
as they could afford to lose..
That poor Slave thrown out..
of his Masters house, in to the darkness,
For saving the exact sum entrusted,
is a tragedy of vileness, it shocked
me in religious scripture..
the intollerant vengeance of a father figure..
who valued profit and gambling more than loyalty..

Am totally lost in the last sentence... "Who valued profit..."
though no need for much explanation, is a great work.
