If you wish to be perfect
Go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor.
We ask ourselves what is correct.
Is possession of money a running sore.

I was watching a programme about the Bruderhof Christian community.
Unlike them I could never give up every possession.
Are you a lesser Christian in not obtaining through that route some immunity.
Is money the root of all evil or is that the wrong question.

Own what you like.
Don’t attach too much importance to it.
If it goes up in smoke there is always the bike.
If it accrues well you won’t have after all to quit.

So that journey to the Kingdom of Heaven will have to be postponed.
I just hope my chances are not blown and that I won’t be disowned.
