Worth Your Weight in Gold ~ Tuesday, 19 May 2020

καὶ τὸν ἀχρεῖον δοῦλον ἐκβάλετε εἰς τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον· ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. 

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 25:30

"And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Matthew 25:30 (NIV)

~~~

Talent, or natural ability, hinders workers when faced with a challenge, enters competitions to win first place, rests while others work, while torpidity undermines determination and drive, no strive in training, a disadvantage no one needs in practice, in the worst case, each scenario displays lack of grit, real focus converges a will to thrive sundered from the struggle for survival, harvest allows no time for rest, the crops in fields to gather before our rival gathers their own harvest of malt and hops, humble beer makers practice to submit.

[Sonnet]

Talent, or natural ability, 
hinders workers when faced with a challenge, 
enters competitions to win first place, 

rests while others work, while torpidity  
undermines determination and drive, 
no strive in training, a disadvantage 
no one needs in practice, in the worst case, 
each scenario displays lack of grit, 
real focus converges a will to thrive 
sundered from the struggle for survival, 

harvest allows no time for rest, the crops 
in fields to gather before our rival 
gathers their own harvest of malt and hops, 

humble beer makers practice to submit.
