Authority doesn't work without prestige, or prestige without distance.

Polygamous
A polygamous household,
Wealth carries authority and prestige;
But my sweet muse is now laid down bare for you.

Koi
Chinese Carp swimming
in prestigious ornamental tank
prestige purchased expensively
for luck for tradition for prestige.
If you were ravenously hungry
would you eat lucky carp?
Would starving poor people
among you eat it gladly?
Koi - a carp with red-gold or white coloring, kept as an aquarium or ornamental pond fish. Native to Japan and temperate regions of East Asia.
Latin name: Cyprinus carpio

We gained a great deal of prestige, but not much money. We liked to work so much we couldn't hide it and the club owners paid us accordingly.

Some Thoughts To Ponder: Vii
born of nothingness
unto nothingness
do we return
what's it that happens
in between?
a fading dream
of desire and tempataion
of anger and avarice
of pride and prestige
of fame and power
of vengeance and malice...
doesn't life keep unfloding
the way it has to
to which you and the stars
remain the only witnesses

Burning Bridges
Looking back I see
In the distance bridges burning
Knowing now
There will be no returning
The departures
Of the past
Have left behind the shores of
Where our bread once was cast
We all must go
Into the future
Nothing stays put
It's just the law of nature
The power and prestige
Of all our yesterdays
Won't count for a thing
Going along this new way
The very best
We all can, and should do
Is help one another
Make it through
So let the damned
Bridges burn
And move ever forward
Where new life awaits, around every next turn

Wife is a property
It is her heart that I loved first’
Then the flesh and the child she bore.
She is my property, I must take care.
I buy things for her and in her name
I own those things to raise her
So that I am raised. I love her
For her chastity and my authority.
In her growth, grace and majesty,
I find my own identity.
A perennial cook and an un paid nurse
As she is, can I shun her or send her?
I must keep her till I last.
I don’t mind losing her young.
I should not die when she is young
Lest she should tempt men.
It is my prestige to own her
And see I am not cuckolded.

How much is prestige worth, not as much as Palermo, if you take away the saints.
Prestige is the shadow of money and power.

It's okay to be a fat man. It's prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control.

I may not withdraw
I may not like to fall back or withdraw
Sometimes dropp the pen and sword draw
Run for reprisal to avenge the defeat
Take possible steps for mistakes not to repeat
I may have calculated move
Don’t allow uncertainty and doubts remove
Think of best results with utmost care
Not to be caught unaware and defense prepare
I prefer to be calm and shun the violence
Go for peaceful means but not sit across the fence
Not letting up any weak signal to reach or pass
Avoid unnecessary flare up …………………..
I may not surrender to cohesive action
Offer befitting reply with no reaction
Gentleman like manner doesn’t mean submission
Frank acceptance of guilt with apology and admission
No one looses prestige if admits the lapses
Neither mighty empire is lost nor does building collapse
We salvage self prestige at negligible cost
People may appreciate and admire you most
You should be rigid for principle and stand
Positive approach and compromising trend
Nothing to loose for courageous steps and approach
Anybody can perform this feat without help from coach
No need to cow down or buckle under pressure
Regain the strength and possibly assure
Nothing obstructs making it doubly sure
Life moves smoothly without any fissure

However, there's three reasons for doing things in this particular world. One is love, one is prestige and the other's money. If you get all three together, that's fine.
