Strutting with false bravado-
the hollow cusp of a few thousands...
no closer to real wealth
as my dreams are far away.

Such a peacock I've become!
Long sleeved, fire engine red, mallet at the ready!

My pride no credit to me- Insecurities
pronounced in alarmist colour.

I pray that I have years enough
Behind me,
And the wisdom to face them
that such a shame will seem as nothing-
Merely a vaporous wisp in the evolution of me.

Post-

It is not the wearing wherein is the sin
It is in the wanting; the shame lies therein.

How proud am I?
Strutting with false bravado-
the hollow cusp of a few thousands...
no closer to real wealth
as my dreams are far away.

Such a peacock I've become!
Long sleeved, fire engine red, mallet at the ready!

My pride no credit to me- Insecurities
pronounced in alarmist colour.

I pray that I have years enough
Behind me,
And the wisdom to face them
that such a shame will seem as nothing-
Merely a vaporous wisp in the evolution of me.

It is not the wearing wherein is the sin
It is in the wanting; the shame lies therein.
