A great an' immense amount o' pressure
- combined with, just, enough intense heat
- causes gems ta' grow, slow, in Gaia's cellar;
- they're ta' be mined an' sold, cheap, on the street.
It seems, ta' me, that this act, nay - this feat,
- will, always, be ta' cycle and repeat :
- for - we humans love things that're shiny.
But - do we, all, take into full account
- *the true beauty o' these seas and these mount-
-ains - that cause gemstones ta' form underground?*
Aye - at least they bring, to the buyer's life, glee;
- course' that's only if, "Yes," is said - whilst on a knee.
