JEWELED TREASURES

A Jewelry Box Is Simple Enough
Beneath The Lid Lies Jeweled Treasures
Holding Secrets Disclosed And Vows Exchanged
Hopes For Tomorrow And Alliances To Be Formed

Meanings Are Given To The Contents Within
By The Owner, The Possessor Of Those Sparkling Gems
The Truth Be Told, No Real Meanings Exist
Just The Material Origins Of These Beautiful Creations

Associated Emotions Are Attached To Each Gem
By Acts That Are Preformed Because Of Notions And Traditions
By A Mind Crammed Full Of A Symposium Of Thoughts
Offered To Us Since Birth By Societal Mythologies

This Potential Pandora's Box Seems Harmless Enough
All Harm Is Self Determined By The Importance That Is Given
The Meanings And Intentions That The Contents Speak Of
For The Earth Holds No Memory Of What It Can Not Know

For Indeed, Life's Complications Are A Human Invention
The Powers Of Nature Would Never Enforce Our Superficial Contracts
The Promises We Make To One Another Can Not Always Be Honored
Because Of Our Limited Perception Of Our Untold Future
