Not
strong enough to dig
Haiku
for those who are caught.
The
man was corrupt
in
charge of his master’s wealth;
finally
caught out.
He
is in trouble,
knows
that he faces charges;
what
is he to do?
To
ashamed to beg
and
not strong enough to dig;
what
a dilemma!
He’s
not finished yet!
Uses
what’s left of his job
to
curry favour.
When
he’s unemployed
he
intends to be welcomed
into
wealthy homes.
Cunning
like a fox;
summons
his master’s debtors
and
discounts their debts.
The
master gets wind,
laughs
at the outrageousness
of
his steward’s scheme.
Make
friends for yourself
by
means of dishonest wealth.
Strange
words from Jesus.
Disturbing
advice
for
those who follow the light;
Should
we be more shrewd?
