Deprived

People choose to accept,
The plated fakeness of 'bling'.
And what they have been led to believe.
That a symbolic success...
Is easier to achieve.
If copied as anticipated!
To mimic as one pleases.

The status of bling,
Only has to glow intentions.
With a sheen that gains attention.
To mean anything...
As long as it satisfies the eyes,
With a glitter that sparkles bright.
For those deprived and spending lives enclosed,
Without that genuine experience to expose...
And/or enlighten.
