 A rich man and a poor man
Met out on a walk one fine day.

I spent my day shopping for rubies
Far East posting covert listing
Mr Patwari’s emporium 
Assistants ever so obliging

Hexagonal set quaintly bulbous

You think you know, but you can’t see
All the pain that you cause me
Each time you speak your wicked words
Of flawed equality.

My pride disrupts the ‘sanctity’

I cry in the solitude of my own
four walls.
Threw the blur of tears i hear 
agony call.
I see light no more except when 
I dream.
I prefer it that way because of
all the hate I've seen.

Trading

When you are easy to flatter
you offer all on a silver platter
When desperation is your emotion
you will grasp at any false notion
Trading your self-respect
