Invaluable Diamonds
Moribund cerebrum was graying yet,
It had set and lost several bets,
It knew not what to do and think,
Yet it was not ready to sink,
It was breathing easy and down,
Finding short energy for a rebound,
All this while the being felt dead,
As if a vegetable which had been had,
Think master rankled its pockets for change,
But nothing came along,
It was dead broke for ideas,
Suddenly it had seen the thing on road,
With eyes that were half shut,
It got the energy it was looking for,
And made the eyes broad,
They focused on the road,
And found that this was what,
It had to goad,
Flashes went wild like laser beams,
Sparklers went berserk on their sulphur seams,
It was a treasure and not just pennies,
The ideas had come in a long time,
It would correct all losses and mistakes,
Of the past hurting now so much,
Make things and set past amends,
These were not simply ideas,
But invaluable diamonds.
