Good
What good is Friday
When good is only good for those
Whose gold is still wet and warm
Recently taken from the neck’s arms and hands of others
Not that of a king’s ransom fair and square
But a fool’s gold
Of blood and deeds done
To pick the wealth that lies upon the ground
From battle fury fights of shame
Claiming this is rightfully theirs
Digging deep into the pocket and purse of the disposed
Hold not on to your gold
But to the life that you have been given
On this Friday amongst Friday’s
This day amongst days
Where gold can never reign
In place of he we do remember
He who gave his all
Now and forever
