An Array of Stones

A long queue of stones
From  gemstones  to kidney stones.
Sandwiched among them
Are men of rubies who leave no stone unturned.
Emerald men with big brains
Might be just a stone throw away’
Some pebbles lie stoned out on the way.
Burdens of tons are borne by boulder men
Who bring up dream like projects.
Bladder stones are shown no mercy,
They are flushed or crushed.
Tucked away in secret vaults,
Displayed to entice, or strewn all around
As anyone’s pick, stones are  legion.
‘What stone I would like to be’ follows
‘Where and of what use I would be’.
