Living beyond one’s means,

Such a counterfeit lifestyle

Casting shadows on the more rudimentary necessities,

Showcasing thinly veiled polish which easily shatters

The slate is stained by the scars of the game,

Extrapolating from most a weary resignation

Spoiled by material trappings,

Human inspiration languishes and grows stale

Sacrificing enrichment for acquisitiveness,

Dripping practicality through the drain,

Sensibility sunk
