Gold

lovers for lily

they're everywhere
she's Gold.
beautiful and worthy,
brilliant, and kind.
Her vigor it resonates,
an energetic muse
She lives for you,
and plays to your desires.

can you Imagine?
a world of such abuse
eternally torn by ravenous souls
whore for inspiration
used, and thrown away - for what they want.
so precious is she, but tainted, misrepresented
prized no more than for her convenient abilities
legendary is her promise,
but for trivial thought – not true merit or pride.
ceaselessly remolding to what her ruler demands.
no steady love. no refuge. no peace. only Greed.
and sorrow.
wishing to wither.
but enslaved from the neck
A consequence of such a gluttonous people.
