Corey Threet - Diamond (c) 8-28-09

There’s a diamond in the sand. br Cox’s Bezer, Bangledesh br There’s a diamond in the sand. br Steadily pacing back and forth br Searching, looking to retrieve that diamond br But the sand is too plentiful. br The sand won’t subside it won’t move out of the way br Only way for it to move is if I shovel it br But without a pail I’ll just be making the other side higher br So much sand, so far to walk. br But wait, something shiny, running to grab it. br But the tide rushes in waters pummel the shine. br Only way is to dig. Dig, dig, dig, sharp pain, br It was merely glass sand that cannot go back br Again pacing the sun beams and the sand overheats br Into more glass, br Stumbling from cuts and wounds, but, br There’s a diamond in the sand. br Day in and night out, looking for the diamond br Is it worth it all the pain and grief? br Pacing back and forth, back and forth. br Finally the diamond finally! ! ! ! br ………….But it’s plastic. br Wait…There’s another diamond in the sand.
