'Crooked Pleasures' 11/17/08 Poem by Sallie Marie Tompkins

The world is filled with so much misconception of quality.
Pleasures are false that can't fulfill the mind.
The most thing that is wasted on earth is time.
People are starving in their mind, looking for something different.
They wonder, will they ever make it out of their current circumstance?
When they do, they will have a victory dance!
Materials things are temporal;
they are just a benefit to society.
However, gifts and talents are the most sought after variety.
Crooked pleasures can lead to hopeless dreams,
however there is a story that can be birthed when one's life is resurrected.
Beware of crooked pleasures....
