Nurtured and Flourishing

Obsessed.
Obsessed,
With what they believe...
Flatters.

Like looks.
Fashion.
And bling that comes adorned.
Things that to them matter!
Like images.
And 'things' to them that are physical.
Things to them,
Worn!

Mindsets of limited consciousness.
And yet...
Some become upset,
If their flaunting goes ignored.

Perceiving one they select,
To flatter.
Accepts,
In a contained self-centeredness.

And...
Is possessed.
By the receipt,
Complete in one's observation...
Of their obsessions.
Nurtured and flourishing in deceit!

But this thought process...
Has never been one to digest,
By those who live to accomplish deeds.
In total acceptance of how they are perceived.
To satisfy those whims given...
And from them to leave!
