EXPENSIVE WATCHES

EXPENSIVE WATCHES

Expensive watches do not more time

give.

Brighter lights do not more truth

reveal.

Faster cars do not longer life

bestow.

Bigger guns do not deader dead

kill.

Newer stores do not smart buyers

make.

More books do not wiser readers

inform.

Larger bonuses do not wiser CEOs

make.

Harder labor does not profit-sharing

more likely make.

Angrier fundamentalists do not

more grace-filled servants inspire.

Ad vomitus repetition does not

more readers inform.

More traffic lanes do not more

commuters time give.

More toys do not happier citizens

make.

What then is our reason for being?
