Mercury

Shining gold and gems and praise are 
all you take, but 
aren’t enough.  

Objects are a man’s best friend but 
not for long, the 
grace wears off.  

Merely an entitlement 
from humans who cannot deliver
psychic vision through your eyes
and perfect wrapping on the giver,

offerings laid at your feet will
all be burned and
then forgot,

tainted in your view as if we
shift like you do.
We do not.
