THIRTY-THREE

April 11, 2025 Jeff Reed

bezos became 

a millionaire 

at thirty-three.

at that same age 

you were hanging

on a roman cross.

revolutionaries 

under different

labels:

you, making 

all things new.

he, gumming up 

the temple court with

money-changing tables.


Note: Jeff Bezos, founder of the Amazon empire, first became a millionaire at the age of 33. Jesus Christ died on the cross at the age of 33.
