Which to be? A diamond in the rough
Or a pearl among the shine
Which is the treasure of today
To gather upon self
the many layered realm
of opinion, perception
glimpses of the sky
until you yourself are a
great heavy mass
translucent trapping light
and throwing it back with the oily tinge
of all that you are made of
all the other thoughts you’ve wrapped around yourself
Or to compact your own thoughts
upon yourself
under the weight of the crushing crowd
holding only to your convictions
to congeal upon your conscience
till hard beyond believe
taking light and breaking it
into its own segmented teeth
its own rainbow truth
with your sharp sparkling edges
Which to be? The capsule of your age
Or the internal reflection of yourself?
