Could it Be??

Balak

A man is driving down the street, and there on the rigtht.
A not so unusual sight.

A treif  Red Lobster restaurant, offering food he has never known, never tried.
He thinks how it is really no big deal, to be denied.

'No I would never in a million years, eat there it wouldnt be fair...
'To expect to be rewarded for it, "upstairs".

He ponders to himself, as he keeps driving in his car,
'For denying myself a meal at Red Lobster, do I get schar?

'I have absolutely no desire for it, whatsoever.
'To refrain from it, is an effortless endeavor.
____________________________

Let me say for the record that even if you don't rob, pillage,eat ham or kill.
Nevertheless, you are rewarded still.

We have free will, to do absolutely everything.
No matter the harm, to our soul it will bring.

For idol worship, say getting a tatoo, or those things you have absolutely no desire to do.
There is still schar bestowed, and waiting for you.

As far as Bilam, it was another story.
He was a rasha, in all its "glory".

In order to make his evil side, more and more strong.
He practically forced  himself, to do wrong.

This man who was hired, for the Jewish people to curse.
Did things he had zero desire to do, in order to make himself worse and worse.  

The man ponders some more ...'H-shem you can't be that loving and generous, as far as I can see.
He asks someone and is told differently ... Then asks himself 'How could it be?

In a sense of awe and gratitude, at the same time.
The man thinks 'H-shem is unfathomably, gracious and kind!'

Then he thinks 'It's not logical, it's beyond fair.
'That is way to much reward for me, more than my share.

'Well if it is true, it must be true.
Then he thinks..'This is great! I get immense reward, for every single solitary thing I don't do!

'HaKadosh Baruch Hu is amazing. I am rewarded for not eating at Red Lobster, though the logic I can't see!
'H-shem is that loving and wonderful. As far as how it is, it sure beats me.'
