What about the 16 inch Rims?
What about the A5 T-bone at Old Homestead?
A Patek Philippe?
An Armani blue suit?
Topped with a Versace mink?
You only see what you want to see
How can I show you this is not the way to live?
Don't you know there is sorrow on Earth?
How can you splurge whilst others scrap?
Deep within the recces of your conscious, there lies compassion I am sure
Compassion for those poor, those marginalized, those unfortunates
If I may indulge, there is a law.
What goes around comes around
There is a thing call retribution, yes
Your very own heart, your sabotage of your petty secrets and callous insensitivities
Your awaking days on earth observed and recorded
by the treasured left
To be reviewed and scrutinized by the guardians above
On your judgement day, no suit nor mink will cover you
Naked be thy folly, actions and deeds
Make hay please, frozen hearts
Do Something Now
