Job 28:18 "The price of wisdom is above rubies"

=============

I threw rubies where they were gobbled

by bloodied mouths which still ask

through broken teeth: "Where is my wisdom?"

A stone for your soul:

Colour of life eternal

And cardinal sins

A sword full of jewels,

Was prized not just for good luck,

But to kill with style... 😎
