Handmade

9/23/16



Some crazed
And some well behaved

People and animals stayed
And others strayed

Below the soil traces of clay
Beautiful rocks like jade
And above it useful plants such as sage

Items out on display
Others locked up and put away

Things handmade
Or by machinery in a factory everyday

Roads and paths gradual or with a steep grade
Not all of which have been paved

Dug with a spade
Take care of your tools, the slower they'll degrade

During this day and age
Things so bizarre, it's no longer strange
To see what one would do for the fame
Or a financial gain

Locations and terrains
Remained
Exactly the same
Or had changed

Evidence attained
Or lost in the rains
And down the drains

After a strain
Too many want to complain 
And on another they try to place the blame

What a shame
People not using their brain
The choices they make, only they can explain
