Paste Gem

there my friend is set in real gold

a gem that shines from a distance

everything fades in comparison

one would spend a fortune

even for a hope to hold it

 

there my friend is snake oil

a sweet addictive elixir at first sip

a shot of vitality blushes through you

one would believe at first taste

until you taste paste...
