PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If we could hunt down rainbows
I'm sure that we all would
If we couldn't capture pretty birds
We'd hire someone who could

If it were just a little less immoral
We'd put out young in zoos
Lock them up behind clear glass walls
Just to afford a pair of shoes

Cuz we take all the beautiful things
And hide them away forever
Showing them off to a select few
So we hope they think we're clever

We'd trade beauty for money
And the other way around
Smother guilt with stuff we buy
So we could sleep safe and sound
