Workers day
Labours in handicapped alms dish of world sufferings
World labour market always in unseen blessings
Sometimes I find happiness in the harem of have nothing
Know that I am uninvited in this radiant deaths of world
I am not pearl diver in the diary of hard stone prison
I lost myself in the consumerist human weakness
I seek the taste of freedom in the alms of reliefs
Today or tomorrow how many days will I wait for flight

pearl diver, how i feel,

I am a beautiful freshwater pearl
An oyster wasn’t my mum
I was developed by a special mussel*
With a name as long as your arm
My home was in a Scottish river
Fast flowing with salmon aboard
In the River Tay fishes hither and dither
I am displayed now and much admired
I am Abernathy Pearl** you see
Spherical shape I am perfection
No other pearl matches up to me
Desired without exception.
My nickname is The Little Willie Pearl
Named after the man who found me
Bill Abernathy is his name a pearl diver
His fame will go down in history
There is a new rule now in Scotland
Pearl fishing is no longer allowed
So my perfection will never be ousted
For this I make Scotland proud.
• Unionoidae mussel species Margaritifera margaritifera
** Nicknamed "The Little Willie Pearl", this freshwater pearl was found in the River Tay in 1967 and is considered the most perfect pearl ever discovered in Scotland. It was discovered by a professional pearl diver named Bill Abernathy, who gave the pearl both it official name and nickname. It rested in a jewellery store in Carincross for nearly thirty years until it was sold in 1992.

There's beauty in the smallest pearl--
the darkest grain of sand--
the cry of eagle and of lark--
the curve of sea and land--
I have seen it in the human heart --
within it, folded down:
beauty --deep as could be hid--
the Pearl Diver found.
