hey, i see ya out there!  he he, how goes it?
here is a poem for ya
                      CARNAL MINDS
There was a time henceforth when I had ten thousand dollars to spare
I had no need for the money so I called two friends to mine house
The first friend whoms name was Greed, came in and sat near
then the second friend also came in, but he sat far, his name was wisdom
I told them both that I had five thousand dollars to give to each
then said Greed, "give it here now!", as he leaned closer so as to reach
while I counted the money I looked upon wisdoms silence as wise indeed
for I knew he was patient, and of lifes carnality he did heed
I counted aloud the word "FIVE THOUSAND", then quickly did Greed snatch away
his half of the money, so in lifes pleasures he could foolishly play
I looked up expecting a gracious word of thanks from the greedy wretch
but he was already gone without a word, it was Satans lures he did fetch
Then I looked over at Wisdom, whom was never reeled in by Satans lure's
Whom appreciated the life that the Lord hath gave him which in itself was 
pure
he had always a smile for me and all that did pass by
for he was happy knowing our Lord whom soon would appear graciously in the 
sky
I handed him his share and he quietly tucked it away
and went about his business until a later day
A week later Greed ran Wisdoms ol' wagon of the road with his new car
and laughed about wisdoms spreading his money to the poor afar
Then without notice the man in the sky did call
he said the books are open, now come one, now come all
as Greed waited in line he bragged about his carnal things
till he learned that he traded them for his heavenly wings
He went to a place not fit for a man as he looked up at Wisdom flying by
and pleaded "Just one sip of water I beg you bring me from a cloud up in your 
sky"
Wisdom smiled and said "dear friend, I stored my money in Gods eternal bank,
it was your earthly treasures that did demote you to a Sargent in Satans 
rank.
It was only yesterday that you passed a starving women in your car so nice
I stopped in my tracks, I didn't have to think twice
Now I am here with her in paradise, the place the Lord set aside
for those with a conscience, a heart, whom in his laws did abide
Though I did have a thirst for lifes carnal things
I knew I couldn't fly up here without my precious wings
speak to me no more from the pits of Hell
for justice is served now my friend, and I chose well !
