Idols

Shiny golden idol
finds itself aloft,
atop a towering
pedestal too soft.

Gold is quite heavy
and requires a strong
base to hold it up.
One of clay is wrong.

Idols are a problem
since people and things
should not be revered.
even money, kings.

It should be no surprise
when the idol slips,
crashing hard to earth
into dirt it flips.

Now it's covered in mud
the people all see
the idol is thing
not a deity.

Take care about idols
they seem appealing
but they disappoint,
always revealing

The hardest to accept
are the human kind
because we mix in love
which can make us blind.

Let people be human
it's better that way;
it's more respectful
and they won't betray.
