Diamond and Gold

You, that your mouth is sweet; it is sugary
At a time hundred of words creep out your mouth
Your reach the cardinal point, whole country
With mouth you purchase the whole world; this earth
You vow promise with your rubbery lips
Assuring people to rest their minds, it’s you
Yet the vow, ever will it come to pass
Day and night their minds linger just for you
You have slay lives alive; you a killer
Can one lies to the world and oneself?
Or can you own the earth and die never?
O you are but unsuccessful; you are fluff
It is not too late change to good for good
Good name is greater than diamond and gold

These words of yours apply to all, especially those in power. It is easy to talk and promise heaven on earth, but what good will that be if nothing comes out of it! Regards // paul
