DIAMONDS

by Marc Carver

Some men are great
and some
have greatness thrust up their arse like a big tumour.
Some men believe themselves to be great
but don't even come close.

Some really believe it
when others say they are great
that is the most dangerous of times
because most people believe what they want to believe

But it is not in the so called greats
that there is much
it is the different people
that I look at
and see diamonds
