They’ll have you believe you’re missing that thing.
They’ll grab your attention with bundles of bling,
… as you live in a world where content is king.
.
They’ll have you believe you’re missing that thing.
They’ll use what you know and choose what you sing,
… as you live in a world where content is king.
.
They’ll have you believe you’re missing that thing.
They’ll style what you wear and fashion your ring.
… as you live in a world where content is king.
.
They’ll have you believe you’re missing that thing.
They’ll break what you have and take what you bring.
… as you live in a world where content is king.
.
They’ll have you believe you’re missing that thing.
They’ll empty the essence, they’ll drain all the zing.
They’ll hollow the vessel, they’ll poison the sting,
… as you live in a world where content is king.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
