In the jungle trying to be king, <br />They say the best things in life are free, <br />Love happiness and destiny, <br />So why are they so hard to see? <br />In the absence of shiny things, <br />It’s the stars from a far that preach bling bling, <br />In the car the bar jewelry ridiculous explicit lives without consequences, Malicious world so materialistic, <br />It’s our minds that must get lifted, <br />Indicted, free from contradiction, <br />Still no smiles without expenses <br />I said I’d try still optimistic, <br />When we die I’m predicting ashes to ashes and dust to dust, <br />Diamonds are forever forever, <br />That’s realistic. <br /> <br />Matthew Lopez 2-06-2008<br /><br />Matthew Lopez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/diamonds-are-forever-forever/
