so you take a diamond
clasped it in a vice
start throwing great clumps of mud at it
then project all your complexes and insecurities
and insist they are subliminally absorbed
by the diamond
because somewhere in some minds
they believe this diamond will turn
into a lump of coal
after all it was coal to begin

somehow I cannot suspend my disbelief enough
to buy into this
and surprising most have not worked out
the obvious con here
this is not about the diamond at all
this is about
lets see how many people we can control and manipulate
into doing all kinds of ridiculous antics unthinkingly
once you offer a reason that captures their interest
because the manipulators know their demography

you see amongst most in human terms
its more engaging, interesting and adrenaline-fuelled
to wade into a Michelangelo or Da Vinci masterpiece
and rip it, throw dark paints on it and damage them
than if you are to ask people to come along
cause they are all to be given oils and brushes
and told they are expected to produce a masterpiece like Da Vinci
very few people will take up that challenge
Manipulators know how east it is to con the general public
most especially if you tell them they have the power
to turn diamond into coal
yes, rrightt!
