A gem,
From all possible angles
A situation,
That looks favorable,
And at the very least,
Trying to pick it up
Will leave me
With something Memorable.
Well,
That’s what I thought
Of the gemstone,
Until I realized
The hard layer of Chromium
Was a mere replacement
Of its heart.
Four years ago
I learned a valuable lesson,
When the green
In the gem
Turned out to be
A reflection
Of my own
Naivety.
