The most expensive produce
I thought a decade before
something precious
it was wonderful
glitters and gleams all through
the one thing I deemed most cheap
liquid simple found in plenty
no shine or no reflection
a colourless, odourless fluid
transparent and very useful
excelled in the aspect of utility alone
a decade later I find a difference
the costly one still remains so
whilst the no cost product
has gone up enormously
most so in value all over
to the point I deduce
it is the diamond that is held high
the plain water has overcome
rather overthrown the diamond
defying all expectations
scarcity mounts up
the paucity creates a demand
most cherished and dear it has become
