Description:

Greed's Payment dots

-------------------------------------------

Diamonds and Rubies,
Sapphires and Gold,
Their illustrious lusters,
Mesmerize young and old.

"Take us." They say, their ruse looming in,
"We can provide you with what you need!"
But little know the cost,
Of a Payment of Greed.

Our Children suffer,
Our Parents ache,
In the lightless abyss,
That comes in our wake.

This is Greed's Payment-
Take it if you dare.

Mmmm.

Poetically speaking, it's got your usual style of not really saying the message. But, yet, saying something that looks like the message. I don't know if that makes sense. But, that's what I think on it.

Rhyme-y, yeah. Clever? A bit. Perfect, no. Can I offer any helpful criticism? No. Why? I like it.

Now, to my thoughts.

Riches do have a way of mesmerizing. Promises of something bigger, better, more sparkly...it's all rather lovely. Of course, the biggest rich, the best, the most sparkling...I find to be the riches I find in the bond that lies between friends. I'd say I'd found many riches here. And, so have you, I think. To me, it'd be a woe to leave it all behind, and honestly, I doubt you can. In fact, you don't claim to. As me, you've promised to be around by PM and such. Hm...There's so much left to cultivate here, and no real reason to disappear. So why do it? Why try to cut yourself off from something that you like? Or once enjoyed. You've begun to take it too seriously. That's why. Remember, ES, though amazing and my internet home, is just ES. It's the people that make it home. It's the sense of family. And, you know what...that sense of family is still there. I don't care if other people say it's not. It is. Sure, there are the odd ducklings and the favorites. But...bottom line...ES is family.

Oh...look at me ramble. *coughs awkwardly* Nice write...
