Crystal Cup of Flair

Crystal Cup
 of Flair


The 
world judges another
 by what they own
Fancy jewels, clothing,
 cars and spacious homes.

They
 choose leaders born
 of arrogance and strife
Following them into
 wars and destructive lives

Many
 categorize a person's
 life through opinions
Created through jealousy
 they follow them like minions

Judge
 not or you will be
 judged by your own decree
Using another as a stepping
 stone renders your life in debris

Richness
 of a person is revealed
 by the quality of their heart
The flow of loving kindness and
 honesty in the mercy they depart

Humility
 and a gentle spirit
 that nurtures another's soul
One who gives willingly 
unconditional love that freely 
flows

This
 person is rich beyond
 all earthly realms
Bearing such a pure love 
against evil, it overwhelms

I
 would rather be
 seen as Tupper ware
Then tagged a crystal
 cup of flair
