Sparkle
Glint all you want, you spangle, you sequin,
We won’t hear the photons you sing –
Your careless and moment’ry manner of speaking
Is nothing but corporate bling.
Your beauty is deadly, you tinsel, you glitter,
You’re nothing but plastic that shines –
You shimmer undimmed in the undying litter
Of downfall that’s dressed to the nines.
But it isn’t your fault, your glimmers, your flashes,
How can we not light to your smile ?
If the end of the world has such radiant ashes,
At least we will go out in style !
