Pretty Pearls of Belief
You have your string of pearls
each one a sharp, precise, narrow point of view
Shining them everyday to make them sparkle
wearing them with pride and flaunting them for
others to see
You Hypocrite
You show your pearls, and hide in them
you deny diamonds, rubies, sapphires, or even gold
Nothing comes ever remotely close to your pearls
you will not even try the others on
You Coward
You obscure those diamonds and that gold
obscuring it from your children like a serial killer
never believing that those diamonds are real
never showing them that you care that they are beautiful
You Bland Mannequin
You stand there everyday, appearing beautiful
your shiny pearls glimmering in the light
Blank faced with no particular special features
The diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and gold shining
just as brightly as those pearls
You beautiful hypocrite, coward, bland, and narrow minded mannequin.
