Read till your eyes bleed

A selfish shellfish doesn't read, hard shell to protect its greed

Around a pearl it does curl a most self centered breed

A rose grows, its duty to its beauty, arrogance shown to the weed

Hoarded pearls we take from our chest, display them our very best

Spread them for other eyes to see reveling in their jealousy

Their treasures we ignore, with the knowledge that ours are more

Not interested in trade feeling our fortune is made

We turn down valuable jewels in exchange for flawed past accruals
