Diamond
May 10, 2013
In order to grow, one must first shrink.
Now that Sounds counter intuitive, would you not think?
No,is what I say.
It all will come clear,
If you heed these words that you will soon hear....:
Men are simply chunks of coal
Ugly and misshapen.
Constantly we are getting cut,
‘Since bullies in the playpen.
This needed to happen
For if it did not,
An immature state of mind is where we would rot.
But get cut enough
And The result will then shine,
A man has become a diamond
With faces a plenty
And cutting edges so fine.
