Loosing it all

Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)

Ballad
What if the end was a paradox,
Would it be a shame?
If the winners were the losers'
In this life they think a game.
Where the poor and downtrodden
Settle their score.
Sounds like insanity?
They will tremble
When He
Roars.

    This poem is not too far from biblical truth: The poor and the meek will inherit heaven's graces. And what about the needle's eye and the camel and the rich.
    It may not be a paradox anymore but a truth.
    Good read!
