Barns, full,
bursting
the harvest not
shared
gathered to the
edges
the rich man’s
treasure
Stored for a
lifetime
no cares, yet not
enough,
wanting more,
bigger barns
more stocked up,
gathered in
All of it
worthless, the grain
his possessions,
all he had stored
worthless before
God,
come for an
accounting of his life
Where was his
heart, his charity
the treasures that
he kept
stored up grain,
for himself
useless on that
judgment day
