The Alchemist

Given the gift
What squanders will be made
With the gold and silver
Transformed by alchemist's hand
From sweat and blood
Salt and water and sugars
Put on potatoes
In your tea
In your coffee
Sitting at a table
In some cafe
As blood diamonds coat
The woman's neck
At the table to the right.
