what you have

a yellow metal
is but gold
it can be bought
and easily sold
or deftly stolen
and given a mold
so, can it really
make you bold....?

what you have
and what you are
what you were
and what you will be
what came with you
and what you gained
what brought you calm
and what left you pained....?

there is more to life
than sheer materialism
there is more to love
than affection and orgasm
there is more to family
than a give and take
isn't there is more to a career
than to pass time as a flake....?

what do you have in you
that is really yours
what makes you loved
in spite of your flaws
that is the gold you really own
you know you have a lot of it
if people at your grave can sincerely mourn....

One of my favourites by me.
