Through the dirt... - An Original Poem

Through the dirt we crawl
crawl, crawl towards success.

it's in our blood, in our genes
hard-coded into our core.

At times, things may look dark
they may look too gloomy,
but we make it through
it is why we are human.

To be a human is an endless struggle
everyday is an incessant effort.

From the very dirt in which we crawl
we make our name amongst the stars.

And when you sit on the throne,
and look down below into the wastes,
all you see are thousands of souls
looking up-to you in envy.

Grinning, you look towards the stars
because still you have a ways to go
because still you possess that which others do not
the will to turn diamond to dust and dust to diamond.
