![]() PearlA Poem by Butch DecatoriaWhen they want For wealth and gold and pearls They will rip it from your Hands and from the clam, With the hunger of lust and malice Swallowing life whole The lost thieves of old... Those who only feed the wolf Loving dogs for more than thee. It's curious to think They presume that it is wealth The heaviness of gold Just A mystic rock just melted chains. The other a product of invertebrates To lug about with them Nude Flashing all who happened by Their wares There's no use for a sack of pearls When here we get And get got Seeds Fertile minds A wealth unmatched [Point to the temples of our skulls] A chain of pearls How I should want To learn from the honor Of good fathers Great pearls of their wisdom How I should rather covet the wisdom of a clam How an alien looking thing Under endless canopies Of un drinkable seas Could be awarded / afforded "Creation" (You better should know) The artistic hand of Masterpiece Shaping all Opalescence Almost to a cut Diamond How godlike is this gift From the mouth Like the clam ... What treasures could be better heard When all the world Spoke Love The language of divine "Creation." © 2016 Butch Decatoria |
