The best of days are still at fault <br />The worst ones still do shimmer <br /> <br />The best of people do have flaws <br />The worst just shine and glimmer <br /> <br />The greatest pets are loyal <br />But the worst don't run away <br /> <br />The dead and emotionless <br />have been forced, condemned to be this way <br /> <br />The glossy ones are superficial <br />Their lives are just too fake <br />Or maybe they're just trying to escape reality <br /> <br />The famous explorers, Conquistadors <br />Demon, devil, angel the same <br /> <br />The court preaches justice <br />but judges at grand distaste <br /> <br />The sun we bathe in <br />How we glow <br />How it harms us with its rays <br /> <br />The ocean we love <br />The breeze we take <br />How they salt our wounds and throw sand in our face <br /> <br />The cookies we grab <br />The cakes that we bake <br />How extra calories are nightmares these days! <br /> <br />How the perfect fit isn't money or ways <br />Origins, cultures, preferences, games <br />Today it means perfect in every which trait <br /> <br />How looks can be sexy <br />cute, beautiful, large <br />gorgeous, graceful, elegant, scarred <br />Such precision in word choice <br /> <br />Aren't we all driven crazy <br />All beautiful, lovely things <br />Suddenly cold, grey, and hazy <br /> <br />They say pink is gold <br />And gold is pink <br />But pink is black <br />And black is a sphinx <br /> <br />Or rather a crow on a dark autumn day <br />Or your favorite little dress of yesterday? <br />Or maybe a panther in the foreign swamp, exotic savanna? <br /> <br />Clearly, black is not gold <br />But then, hey you never know <br /> <br />Reminds me of some points in history <br />Oh yea, that's right <br />Slavery <br /> <br />So when your life seems too simple or rather too much <br />Pick it apart <br />Ponder <br />As such<br /><br />Liliana EL.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-know-37/
