All that glitters

Skirmish: Everything that Glitters ... (@dudachris)
Liner Notes
A nice prompt indeed. Here's mine
Lyrics
All that glitters is not gold That’s the line we’re always told All that glitters is not gold Since Shakespeare’s time it’s taken hold
I think the truth is something else We should look beyond the surface of things We should question how we value success Ask if there’s a hidden purpose
If it seems too good to be true There’s probably a catch Many colours have a darker hue The sky we see is not really blue at all
All that glitters is not gold Junkyard cars are rarely sold Stripped for parts and left to die in the rain Rusting away in the cold
Once they were beautiful A joy to behold All that glitters is not gold
Once they were beautiful A joy to behold And now they’re left to rot in the cold

A pretty indictment of modern marketing and other pitfalls. Nicely done!

I am so glad I was not the only One who did not think of the Olympics. This has a lot of good underlying questions. Lovely

Oooh this is a wonderful take. The turn to the junkyard cars is nice, could have a whole song in that direction relating to this prompt. Love it 💛
