Gold Verses A Rusted Tin Roof

Gold Verses A Rusted Tin Roof

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

Dedicated to a great friend and writer Poppysilver and any talented writer out there that has ben cyberbullied in their reviews.

"

 

The monetary value

Of an degenerate mind

Has the worth

Of copper

In pennies made today.

Those with no esteem

Use hatred like

A credit card

To buy an ego.

Rest assured  one day

That debit

Will bankrupt their life.

Till that day

Don’t give in and pay the piper

To raise their spending limit,

When you are worth

Your weight in gold

And they have the importance

Of a rusted tin roof.

You're always the knight in shining armour when it comes to trouble in here.. many thanks Dale. You know how I feel about the spite and will stand alongside you. Your words are so cleverly written; venom hasn't a penny's worth and being broke means being broken for some.

Goodo...bullies cannot possibly realise what they do to their victims..some bullies just need to feel power, others are plain bad. Both need to learn a great deal and stop destroying innocent peoples lives whether it be by physical or mental abuse.
Well said here cowboy.
Thanks for share

I love that you put your heart into every piece of work you create. You are an honorable man for sticking up for Poppysilver- she is far too talented to be bullied in any way. Great advice, great piece- as usual! :)

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
