“Impoverishment” ( ) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write # 6:10]

The key to “few” and “many” is who has to be prepared;
The key to that, is who can make the other person scared;
For when one’s scared about a force that person cannot see,
The preps, which cost a lot, must be extensive needlessly.

Impoverishment comes when a lot of cash is wasted on
Defenses which are needless (once it’s spent the cash is gone);
I’m hearing, Lord, up on Your Kingdom-layer it is all right,
You’ll show us in the moment how and when to “Pick a fight” –

By doing simple actions, unannounced, which set folks free;
By showing unexpected little ways which folks can be
At liberty, in You, as they go ’bout their daily rounds,
Aware now they’re the focus of “God’s so-persistent hounds”.

I see I’ll a lot is planting seeds in gardens You’ve prepared,
Or fixing up some soul-soil way ahead of time it’s shared;
That at that future time of planting, seed will have good soil,
And folks will know they’re cared for, quite apart from needless toil.

Lord, that’s my journey, how You lead me from my messy swamp;
And now, as You prepare me, less and less such “Things” I want;
I thank You for Your Kingdom-layer where we’re all set free
To start to be Your body-parts, engaged in Jubilee!

Thanks Lord for this.
