Sophistication

They call themselves sophisticated, score that special hit, drive a brand new 'Beemer' and annoy us with their wit. E-mails, cell phones, always selling, always out to merchandize, little do they know that we can see through their disguise. Sophistication isn't clever, cravin' money, kissin' ass, climbin' up the corporate ladder no, I think I'll take a pass, for there's another kind of lovin', playin' frisbee in the park, fixin' dinner, doin' dishes, stolen kisses in the dark. The gentle of a special woman, tender moments to recall, making love and making memories, joy and laughter through it all. You can keep your slick devices, lookin' sharp no matter what, to me sophistication's simple, I'm content with what I've got.

You are so right and I couldn't agree more. I like the rich that dress like normal people and act like normal people. You see them out and about all the time but they fly under the radar. They don't need to act like jerks to feel importat. Also not every millionair is rich at least in the ways that count. Great Poem TLee
