JabezA Poem by Kenneth The Poet
There once was a guy
buried deep in the Chronicles that only mattered to a bunch of overpaid snake oil salesmen, and he was only mentioned in two lines and that was enough for one guy to convince a bunch of guano-minded pigeons to deposit their hard-earned sawbucks into the immoral coffers, but Mother Nature only blessed them with stupidity and freedom of choice and can't therefore be blamed, like God can't be blamed for making the Job we can't understand into the Job we know and love. Of course, Jabez in Hebrew means "he makes sorrowful" and he probably lived a life equitable to Job, but he said a simple prayer and all was forgiven and that's why nobody cared about him until he could be used to further the prosperity of the gospel, as if reprinting the Bible year after year didn't make enough money for God anyway. God has trouble managing money from what has been demonstrated, therefore he should pray to Jabez because money management is the boulder so big and so heavy that even he can't push it. © 2011 Kenneth The PoetReviews
