Crayon Crystals

by Natalie84   Jun 15, 2007


You crave diamonds
Souvenirs of polished gem
Foolishly perceiving green
As a heavenly stem

You seek lonesome wealth
And pray for high regard
For you drive a fancy car
But hold no real reward

Jewels bring contentment
To your lost and vacant mind
While we witness real beauty
Your piteous soul is blind

Instead of nourishing your young
You selfishly chase a life of glamour
Lace yourself in valuable stones
And call yourself an emperor

While you so mindlessly
Unload your deprived children
A Mommy falls in love
With portraits of crayon

A piece from another one of Sunny's title tosses :)

    Oh, this is so damn powerful.... you took the title and created a masterpiece. It's a shame what money and power can do to people, they forget about the more important aspects of life. When will people realize that money can not buy everything. Love this write Nat, well done.
