RICH

 

My wealth is not jingle
nor a heart forever throbs,
No.
‘Tis them beside me strode a mile,
saw me home
and asked to keep my smile.

Lacking

LACKING

 

I have no baubles
no bangles
no beads
I lack luster
I haven’t polish enough for you
(I am not without prejudice)
I am dwindling
I must Go.
