Diamond (C) 8-28-09

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