If it isn’t one thing

it’s something else.

Or at least it’s something,

but it could be nothing.

All the glitters is not always gold

Sometimes its glitter.

Or sparkles.

Or even fool’s gold.

Like cubic zirconia.

It shines like a diamond.

You don’t cry when you lose one.

But well, the real diamond is nice.

Despite the efforts to get them

Never mind. Slavery sucks.

But so does a cubic zirconia.

when you are told it’s a diamond.

It’s always something.

Some way of saying to us,

what we think matters.

It doesn’t really.

They are just things.

But it’s always something,

isn’t it?
