I was given love
when it was crafted by the Master crafts-maker
pure, sublime, exquisite, demure, enchanting and priceless
a jewel of the Nile that made Faberge and AspreyΒ Β weep in homage
Now, love is made in China
mass produced in sweatshops with cheap labour
tin and lead, gilded gold-plated disposable imitations
gaudy show-pieces, chintzy and pretentious of poor quality
So these fine days
every Tom, ****, Harriet and Jane
say they all own one, a love of their own
its special and priceless, and so easy to purchase
and the great beauty about it all is that its easily replaceable
I was given love
when it was crafted by the Master crafts-maker
It isn't Western made or made in China from artificial goods
by machines or robots, no living beings was harmed in the process
I am because I have always lived with the Real Deal
