Not all that glitters is gold
. . .
They spin a web of lies
That what they have for sale
Costs nothing more than ale
Not wanting to disturb
The careful balance met
They draw you in their net
Promising all the while
What they do not possess
Honesty and progress
How sweet their words doth sound
Prospect of dreams come true
Or too good to be true
Little do we suspect
It's nothing but a ruse
A game we're sure to lose
Allowing them to poise
Like experts that they are
The final blow to cast
And steal the dream right back!

Life is what we make it. Your dreams are never valid to many because they see the outcome to be awesome and won’t want you to execute it
