No. 244: Proverbs 11:25 - 29 Redux

Part King Lear,
part Willy Loman,
this unpresidented
carnival showman,
needy, praise-craving, 
greedy, unhinged,
madly sad-raving, 
inherits the wind.
——————————
25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
