Haiku of reputation and regard
Is a good name still
better than riches, in this
get-all-you-can world?
To have little wealth
but a good reputation;
I hope I’d choose that.
To have good regard;
better than silver or gold?
Not all would concur.
The rich and the poor
owe their existence to God.
Remind them of that!
Those who are unjust,
will reap the consequences
of their perfidy.
Generous people
will find blessing as they share
their bread with the poor.
God watches over
the poor; you who exploit them
will be made to pay.
……………………………………….
Reputations don’t
seem to matter much these days,
bad people still rule.
