A big hot hell "The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur--nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in fierce anger." NIV Deuteronomy29:23 Big banks charge us those big interest rates Big governments maintain those high tax slates And many bloated laws they legislate For more big programs that they like to make. Big lawyers charges exorbitantly big fees To work on big cases for you or me Big super markets feed lots of food and stuff Big department stores sell more than enough. Big clinics and big doctors give tests, pills Big farmers raise big crops in fields they till, Big phone companies make messages race Sending big data in Internet space. Big airlines sell many tickets to fly Big airplanes in big blue skies, soaring high Big media entertain with big airs Big violent highs, big sexy affairs. Big churches preach sermons to flocks that swell Begging money with big causes that smell Is our destiny, our future to dwell Just a huge growing great big bigness hell? A big hot hell!

 (big hugggssssss) Oh Newell, this is soooooo very sad but true, it seems there is so much greed and vanity in this world and so little charity, and this has devastated our world and freedom! (sigh) I pray with all my heart there will come a day when this idea of money comes to a rest and peace and hope will be given to all who need it the most! (sad sigh) So sad but well-written, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I love this! The meter and form complement the material well and tie into the title/intro perfectly. Well done! - Jeff |
