There Are MANY Jewels In...
... The Crown of Life...
  
And A BIG ONE Is...
Being Able To THINK... !!!
  
A Jewel That Links...
To... POSITIVE Things... !!!
  
Because Those Who DON’T...
And Take Life For A JOKE...
Tend To Hold Fools Gold...
That Leaves Them BROKE...
And In... Lonely Zones... !!!
  
However... Being Able...
To Keep Yourself STABLE...
When You’re Alone...
Is A Jewel That Dethrones...
  
Things Like Misery...
Because Like They Say...
It Really Likes Company...
That Can Damage Families...  
In The WORST Kind of Ways... !!!
  
But It’s Also Said...
That To Find A Good Wife...
Is A JEWEL That Rests...
On The Crown of Life... !!!
  
Now I Really Don’t Know...
If It’s An Accurate Quote... ?!?
  
It’s Said That Good Wives Know...
How To Make A Man WHOLE... !!!
  
Or In Others Words BALANCED...
Another Jewel In The Crown...
That Defeats Getting Drowned...
When You Face A TOUGH Challenge... !!!
  
Like To Stand And Face...
Those Who Deal In HATE...
  
A Jewel That’s CRUEL... !!!
That Has NO CROWN... !!!
  
It Just Causes FROWNS...
And Fools Who ABUSE...
The Crowns’ BASIC Rule...
  
Do Unto Others...
As You’d Like Done To You... !!!
  
And RESPECT Your Mothers...
And Your Fathers... TOO... !!!
  
Unless They’re A Part...
of ******* Crews... !!!
  
Because... WITHOUT THEM...
How Could There Be A YOU... ?
  
So RESPECTING YOURSELF...
Is Another... Crown Jewel... !!!
  
UNLIKE The One Seen...
In The Crown That’s Used...
By The British Queen...
So Don’t Get Them Confused... !!!
  
The Jewels In The Crown...
That These Rhymes Speak About...
  
Are NOT THOSE That Shine...
Or Are Those That Are STOLEN... !!!
  
They Are Those Enshrined...
In Standards That Focus...
On... Living Life...
WITHOUT Dealing In Potions...
That Leave Folks BROKEN... !!!
  
Like Stocks And Brokers...
of... COLONIAL Rule...
Who ENSLAVED And ABUSED...
To Obtain Their Jewels... !!!
  
That Are Born From Falsehoods...
That Refuse What’s... Good...
  
Like Natural Food...
Another Crown Jewel...
That Will Serve You WELL...
And Maintain Your Health... !!!
  
As Does The Jewel...
of Knowledge of Self...
That Breeds Spiritual Wealth... !!!
  
That Will NOT SELL...
It’s Soul Well Short...
  
Like People Now Caught...
In The Trap Where Cash...
Is ALL That They Live For... !!!
  
A... DANGEROUS Road...
Where Crowns DON’T GO... !!!
  
Because Greed And Vanity...
Deserve NO THRONES... !!!
  
They’re For Dogs Whose Bones...
And Souls Are... COLD... !!!
Like The Blackest Holes...
And Those Who Mould...
How People Are CONTROLLED...
  
But The Crown of Life...
Has Jewels That Are BRIGHT...
That DEFINE What’s RIGHT... !!!
  
Like Using Your Mind...
To Express What It Finds...
About Life’s Designs...
And To Share Insights...
  
That Are THOUGHTFUL And WISE...
... As Well As Being PRECISE... !!!
  
A Jewel With NO Price...
Like... Getting Old... !!!
  
So Is The One That Holds...
The... Number One Spot... !!!
Because It Comes With WISDOM... !!!
  
A... VERY RARE JEWEL...
That’s NOT Found By Everyone... !!!
  
Because Most CAN’T See...
Beyond Lust And Vanity... !!!
  
And This Thing Called Money...
That’s Just... PAPER And INK... !!!
  
Or This Need For Vaccines...
To Stop Us Getting Sick...
  
When The Jewel That People NEED...
Is To Question And To... THINK...
  
BEYOND Talk From Pharmacists...
... Politicians And Medics...
And Their Packs of Scientists...
  
The Types Who Said Things...
Like... DON'T Deal In Cannabis...
Or We’ll Lock You Up With Crims'... !!!
  
Yup... The SAME HYPOCRITES... !!!
Who Now Want To GIVE YOU IT... !!!
  
As Long You As You...
... ACCEPT A JAB... !!!
  
People Really Need To...
... THINK About That...  !!!
  
Because THAT Jewel Is A SCAM... !!!
  
You See The... Jewel of...
Knowledge And Thought...
And Common Sense Born...
From Using Your Thoughts...  
To Be Those That ABSORB...
  
What It Is That Links...
Yourself To WISE Gifts... !!!
  
Is A Jewel That’s PRECIOUS...
Just Like... THAT RING...
That Was Made For Kings... !!!
  
The One Where You...
Use Your Brain To THINK... !!!
  
For... YOURSELF... !!!
And NOT For The Crews...
Who Use Jewels To ABUSE...
That... DIVIDE And RULE... !!!
  
So REMEMBER That...
It’s MENTAL WEALTH...
That’s The Jewel That Really...
Will Serve You WELL... !!!
  
And Is One That Will Help You...  
... LAUGH And SMILE...
In The Face of What Are...
The... TOUGHEST TRIALS... !!!
  
And Is The Jewel That You'll Find...
  
That's MORE VALUED Than...
ALL The Others COMBINED... !!!  
  
That Are Part of What I See.....
  
As Being.....
Not the type of crown that most people think of....
