I, bankrupt beggar; You, bank machine, manager of reserves. You, Giver of good, grace dispensing like crisp bills; I, endless consumer craving else, spending gifts like water. You, lending to paupers currency to purchase Life; I, debts mounting, limp destitute to soak up charity, walk away with my hands and heart full.

God in everything! I am just on my way out to the ATM. I shall inform the machine that it has some stiff competition in the banking business and it needs to cut me a better deal 😀

This poem immediately reminded me of a winter day about 25 years ago when I was in a shopping mall with my then toddler son. He wanted a new toy and I told him we didn’t have the money to buy it. He was sitting in his stroller and pointed to an ATM and said: mom, you can always take money from the wall 🙂
HA! A bit over-simplified, perhaps, but not wrong. Not by a long shot. Smart kid… 🙂
