Pursuits
July 26, 2011
Not all ideas are diamonds
As not all that glitters is gold
But both these will wither or else grow mold
You say diamonds are forever
And gold is not of the flesh
But even if you say not, wouldn't it be for the best?
But alas people die for them
By silly pursuits of wealth
Little do they know that the richest man is the one of good health
