gilded


Gold leaf lives and ignorant ears Versace eyes and MasterCard tears Blank faces and dull gray skies Voiceless songs and bitter lies. If only they could hear And listen Spread to its airy thinness, Gucci reigns supreme. The world is lifeless, ancient Pack the Prada bags and flee From earnest, truthful discourse. Speaking of people Of things Ideas are buried And the light grows dim Each day, dimmer With each golden glimmer Of a Dulce & Gabbana smile. Cracked and cold, Melt the gold And know it is not pure.
