He's Not Worth It

the common stone is useful 
though others seem to mock
praising up their special gems
not solid as a rock

there we have the flowers
for everybody's needs
though holding all together
is solid rock and weeds

solid rock and weeds
useful coarse-grained grit
turning soil fertile
yet, he is not worth it.
