OK, be cynical – say, <br />why, it’s only a piece of dead wood <br />that found itself trapped when <br />the earth’s crust heaved a sigh… <br /> <br />be cynical - say, <br />it didn’t ask for you to <br />dig it up - buried there <br />recovering from the shock… <br /> <br />be cynical - say, <br />anyway, it looked like a pebble then <br />until a man so cleverly polished it.. <br /> <br />be cynical – say, <br />it’s nothing of itself – all it does <br />is to reflect the light that’s always all around.. <br /> <br />be cynical – say, <br />we’d only value it as a piece of glass, <br />if smart guys didn’t fix it for them to seem rare, <br />and silly girls say, look, it proves he loves me… <br /> <br />now just look at this diamond.. <br />what use is your mind <br />when your eye and your heart <br />get on so well without it?<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/diamond-8/
