He made the sign of the cross.
A sick world saw it not.
He threw money on the ground.
Folks came running from miles around.

Meaningless, fleeting pleasures or trusty, rusty nails?
Call it in the air.

Author's Note

Pete
"It is a momentous fact that a man may be good, or he may be bad; his life may be true, or it may be false; it may be either a shame or a glory to him. The good man builds himself up; the bad man destroys himself." - Thoreau

A brief but explicit example of how to make THE choice of choices. 'Call it in the air' indeed.

What you or others take from Thoreau or other like thinking men, is proof of search, of wanting example, a way in which to live with honour and empathy. Greed is an ignorant man's master, waste in the face of a starving man's need is a sin to all Humanity. Guess it's for us to choose.
