"Wealth Before Gold"

submitted by Smedleys_Butler to SmedleysPorch 3 monthsJan 5, 2024 21:28:26 ago (+3/-0)     (SmedleysPorch)

Constant reminders of what you can't have
Not all that different than the outside
Yet it still drives you mad
Same silly dominant rites
But lust could cost you land

Once I swore it all off
Then again I took risk
Bless this place without cell phones
Damn replaced consequence
What once was easy gets honed
Till the scale tips again

Not sure if I'll surrender
But I'll try to resist
They're two different problems
But the same bloody fists
Guilt, shame and solvents
Can't tell the difference

Reluctant sigh, stoic patience
There's no fooling the eyes
Want attention then don't
Clocks don't understand time
What was wealth before gold
And what love does it buy?

Still hesitant getting old
Nature's cute warning signs
