What determines individual value?
When comparing …what are the clues?
What uniqueness carries the most weight?
Why? This is the question up for debate
Let’s compare a pebble to a diamond
A pebble may be smooth and round
A diamond in the rough, is a clear stone
Yet… it has a luster desired by thrones
Pebbles are plentiful on the surface of shores
Diamonds are rare; found when you dig and explore
Rounded pebbles turn to sand over a period of time
Faceted diamonds have endurance… this is prime
Let’s decide what characteristics determine worth
Both have components of the dirt from the earth
One is more common an generates no temptation
The other is a commodity and prone to inflation
It is crystal clear to me that longevity is an entity…
The capacity to create a sparkle is linked to identity
When all the qualities are considered upon reflection
Rigid rarity and dazzle are the qualities of perfection
