Random Poem:

Dig to China
unknown

They say
 1
You can dig a hole
 2
Across the globe
 3
 
 
If you sink your nails
 4
Far enough
 5
You'll reach the Orient
 6
 
 
Center of wisdom
 7
Center of peace
 8
Maybe I can find it
 9
If I dig deep enough
 10
 
 
But what satisfaction
 11
Comes from this?
 12
What peace?
 13
 
 
My heart racing
 14
I delve,
 15
My fingers searching
 16
For an opening
 17
A passage
 18
 
 
All I find
 19
Is the blood on my fingers
 20
And the scars on my face
 21
Yet I cannot stop picking
 22
