Just Wrote This. by lippincott(op): 9:21am On Nov 01, 2017

Beauty is meant to be appreciated
without the necessary urge
to possess.

Watch from a distance, admire
before you aquire, inquire
Love thrives better outside a cage.

Women are flowers,
beautiful ain't they?
in all ways patiently groomed
by the florist ---
made sweet, with every speck
of fragile delicacy.

His insatiable kids however
crave them for the satisfaction
its why they pluck them
its why they die.

And then with intentional sense of oblivion
we say
"there aint no good flowers anymore"
