Gem

The microscope of scrutiny
sees the souls,
the heart's innards,
and all their
pearls and gems
of beauty,
for the naked eye
deceives us
and leads us astray,
and to crave
the eye Candy
and everything
that is beautiful
and all the things
that sight
finds delicious,
but our ignorance
is toxic,
a wino can
be a hero,
and a man
tattooed from head
to ass
can be
a saint,
and the king
of mistakes
is the best
teacher that
you can
ever have,
because he
has mastered
the art of
screwing up,
the pretty pearl
is tucked
inside the ugly
grey oyster,
some women
have beautiful
earring gems,
made from
dinosaur
shit fossils,
and if beauty
can come
from this,
so too
can
it come
from the
ugliest
man
and the
hardest
of
hearts,
and the
man
that is
broken
who's
soul has
been
grated,
get your
hands
dirty,
put on
your
boots,
and your
leather pants
there's
work to
do.
