Diamond Ring Poem by Janis Land Raymer

Diamond Ring-
what did you think that entitled you to?
was lying ok...
what about...
putting others before-
me, us?

Diamond Ring-
what exactly did you think you were doing?
buying property...
slavery was always
a bad idea...
but it's illegal now.

Diamond Ring-
how much power did you think it had?
did you think...
it would hide your abuse
or make me love you...
you cannot buy me-
nor can you own me-
I'm not for sale.

Not even for a million...
Diamond Rings.
