renaissance
spring releases
to be re-ironed nostalgic creases
found in brocante encounters
and display counters
why do we amass stuff?
why are we valued only after we had enough of life’s gruff?
pixels from auvers-sur-oise
pay 82.5 million usd for van gogh’s gachet portrait
gotta have that botox lips, covet that mightier-than-thou trait
why do we fill ourselves with fluff
when is enough, enuff?
every corner bombardment galore
buy-buy, bye-bye money implore
global liquidity crisis and senseless wars
greece, brazil, hungary going hungry, legislate goldman-sachs mores
iceland investors melted with subprime weed
iceland blows up, eyjafjall ajokull stalls jet speed
time to regain gold lustre, level have and have-not
time for kinder egalitarian ethos renaissance, worldly woes to blot
what shall we next explore
soon pantry is bare, nothing in store
revive values past
for us to last
trust to lust
we must
with wisdom gust
no matter lower or upper crust
it’s genesis 3:19 dust to dust
