Difrent
Perfect, beautiful, shining, like a diamond
Diamonds that are found and admired by all
People will look all over the
World
Just to find them
Rather than a rock
That people label as useless items that take up space
Where diamonds should be
Rocks that are the foundation of the whole earth
Uneven, ugly, and dirty rock
Those people will toss aside and brake apart just to find a
Diamond
Diamonds that are stuck to be a perfect symbol that people wish they had
People would spend so much on them, wanting that image
Rather than a rock that can be found all over the world
That people would hate the symbol of having
An ugly dirty rock that everyone looks down upon
Or water
Something that all people love and need
Shines and shimmers in the sunlight
The most beautiful animals live in the water
That people chat and keep as pets
Rather than dirt
Messy dirt that only scary ugly bugs live in
Crawling, squirming, sneaking under the dirt
That when mixed with water
Is a messy result
People need water so much that there isn't enough to go around
Rather than dirt
Boring, messy, covered by beautiful grass
Mint green Grass that grows almost every wear
A giant blanket covering the earth
But…..Maybe…… just Maybe I’ve got it all
Wrong
Diamonds need the ugly rock to form
Without the ugly rock the shining diamonds
The Graceful Water needs the messy dirt
To hold it in place the grate forms like oceans and lakes
The green grass needs both the water and the dirt to spread its wings all over the world
And make jungles that touch the clouds every day
It needs the water to help grow and become stronger and the dirt to hold it in place
The grass needs the ugly bugs to help it grow and feed the roots that grow deep within the earth.
The water may even chip away at the rock
To find what lays inside the rock-forming masterpieces
Like the grand canyon
Once a small river that would carry the dirt a rock away from the earth
Very different things came together to make magnificent, graceful, creations that people will travel the world to see
