Contemplating the pros and cons

of being a pro. con man
I can't confess to my wife how I provide
she will probably tell me "con, done with it!'
cuz she doesn't condone it!
but I love my job - I'm a con gaining
so much money that one safe house can't contain it!
This is such a contrast to when I was constantly working
as a construction man. Building other people's mansions

Aiming for nothing but net,
that is, a net worth of one billion George Washington
Dollar bills paying off these utility bills and moving up to Beverly Hills

Aiming to satisfy my lust and greed, but yet 
I feel this birth curse called sin, weighing me down like a ton
a ton of bricks falling back to back on my back - dying of cheap thrills!

Aiming to turn this all around

When we were wanderers
a house was what we wished for -
rooftop to cover us from the cold and heat,
walls to block the preying people. 
Back then we were praying people.
Pathetic paupers? Perhaps, but 
as wanderers we were at home in the Lord,
Our Rock and Refuge, singing happily,' Hallelujah!'

You the best (for now)
but don't get conceited 
quickest way to get dethroned
is to condescend the shoulders you stand on

No man is an island

Who can make them whole?
Not him who stands loftily as a steeple
