You can throw stones at glass,
It will break.

Or perhaps beat your fists against the glass,
It will break.

Some say you can even shatter it with your voice,
The glass will break.

If it’s surroundings become too heated,
It will shatter.

A thin sheet breaks easier,
Though a thicker one will outlast.

Even then,
You should still be careful,
Because all glass breaks eventually no matter how soft or hard it’*****.

Such a delicate material,
Yet still to be treated like a forever unbreakable stone wall,
Or a thing only made to fit the use of whoever wants it.

No glass can be forged the exact same as any other,
Even to the last microscopic detail,
So you should value it as it is.

Not all glass is bulletproof.
Not all glass is wired to resist force.
Not all glass can take so much strain,
so for it’s sake,
treat it carefully.
