Precious Jewels


A Poem by Haleemaaisha
"
What does it mean to you?
"

Precious Jewels are not

Gold and Silver

Precious Jewels are not

Rubies or Diamonds

Precious Jewels are not

Paper and Plastic (money)

Precious Jewels are not

A fine tailored suit or a luxurious sedan

It cannot be purchased.

It cannot be traded.

It cannot be sold.

It can only be shared.

Precious Jewels are God's Gift

To us

Very very FREE

Do you breathe clean air

Or much wealth and smog?

Do you drink clear water

Or mud made from a million dollar job?

Is your category greed by

Cutting down trees and restricting a lofty shade?

And whats more pleasant to you

a landfill or a landscape?

Clean Air And

Clean Water And

Wide Forests And

Blue Skies And

Good Health And

Pure Vegetation And

Florals And

Plants And

Animals And

LIFE!

Are all_________________

You fill in the blanks

What will they say you chose

That last cup of water or

That last bag of gold in the bank?
