“Assets” (Internet quote prompt series)

Divide your days up into thirds –
Self educate, suck up the words
Which other folks are bound to share
With one and all – inhale their air.

Then follows, get outside yourself,
And drop obsession chasing wealth
As if it were the thing you need –
Be interested, some others feed.

In light of that (both take and give)
Take action in the place you live –
Persistently, left foot, then right,
Until your past’s long out of sight.

Become the asset you now chase –
One third of time for each give place,
And soon you’ll be commodity
From which folks draw resource they need.

Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
