For you cannot put a
Monetary value on
A real woman
Because I do not
Follow others trying

For pieces of...

my hand reached past the one 
I was looking for to the ones 
Pillowed softly in the back

neatly sown earth ripe for the planting.

This world had been perfect-
silent creeks and boisterous waterfalls.

This land that was once Mother Nature's-
destroyed for some superfluous coffee shop
where liars and womanizers lay in...

Things that make me happy
bring a smile or tears of joy
they have no monetary value
sweet gifts for every girl and boy 

So take off all those blinkers
Let the light shine in
Put away your screen today

Penetrating my deep, chemically induced sleep. 
Blinking sensitive eyes, I raise my swirling head.
 I sit up and walk into a corridor of glass display cases.

Bringing forth the beauty in life and meaning
Giving value to substance

i want to lie

where the scented lily opens
reveals its stamen
tender as babies breath

from words stabbing, causing...

We have dropped this sacred holiday.

Fiscal unforgiving,
