Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in my, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24.


face value is not true worth,
a jar of pennies is so deceiving
and
tax does a number on your heart

good judgment isn't right at all,
when what you see is never what you get
and
falsities make you trip then fall

a book's cover gives it's word too much,
for credit has little worth in debt
and
the giver may never receive

an image of a man is clear
but his intentions can be obscure
and
intentions mean nothing once you pay

therefore, never take from your heart
but give from your knowledge
and
maybe you will learn
