Pressure
What is more valuable than the human, who imparts value to everything under the sun?
How bewitched we must be to have eyes that don’t see the priceless power of life begun.
No sparkly trinkets or acquiescence of such will add worth to a hardened heart or tainted soul.
A mentally and spiritually battered population soon flees from its humanity to join the material fold.
It takes an astonishing 2,500 degrees and 825,000 pounds of pressure in order for a diamond to be formed.
That’s an estimated one-billion years of force for a June bride’s ring finger to be properly adorned.
Only the binding strength of the love between two can accurately represent a true union of destined hearts.
Once more value is placed on the rock than the commitment, the jigsaw marriage falls apart.
Redundancy screams from the silent casualties lost on the never-ending fields of wars financed by bloodstones.
New nooses sparkle uselessly from the napes of young rappers cursed to devalue flesh and bone.
Enslaved in our coaxed delirium, like the inconsequential youths who perish in the deep, dark despair of the mines.
Group mentality has replaced spiritual fortitude as the world has been secretly enticed into a controlled, collective mind.
The rarer the stone, the higher the value and yet, the higher the value, the rarer the unaffordable stone.
Such profound, psychedelic hallucinations once reserved for the partakers of exotic drugs are now cloned.
The terrible fact that trending is trending seems to be dreadfully lost on the lost.
Individual thought bares the high price of exclusion and the solitary burden of a personal cross.
Often, what is flattering to the human eye turns out to be an abomination instead of a treasure.
Should you choose to join the material fold, it would be wise to become aware of the real pressure!
