Thank you, Natasha, for the honor and your hard work.
Button Moulder
Button molds are varied in colors,
Shapes, sizes, materials that alters
The appearance of our clothing
Making us better looking.
As the button moulder statue made
From shoulders, one arm folded, never faded,
Enormous binoculars for gazing
At life’s beauty through peering
From the button’s eye, never veiled
By social screens of a fast-paced
Life filled with the ultra superficial
That tends towards the unforgiveable
That’s filled with violence of blood,
Addiction that lives in your blood,
Actions that turn a child into an orphan,
Stomping on other’s rights to be open,
Open to immorality that needs
To destruction of family unity that breeds
Bonds of compassion, empathy, forgiveness
That our superficiality doesn’t harness
The power of discipline, strength of will,
Faith and belief in yourself that’ll never fall
For if society embued us with that, then
Rebellion would ensue as a ban for politics with pen.
