There was a safe
In an old building
That no one knew
What was inside
It was a hundred years old
with a metal turning knob
with over a thousand combinations.
I placed an explosive on the knob
and blew the safe open
It was dark inside
I took a torchlight
and made my way down
the steps leading down
deeper and deeper
it went, the temperature
humid and wet.
I wiped the sweat on my forehead
At the end, I saw a big room
With diamonds on walls on all directions
In the middle, was a old woman
polishing a pile of ugly looking black rocks.
She did not notice my presence
and was feverishly focused on her job.
I saw a pile of diamonds on the floor
and grabbed a bundle, before running up the steps
Up and up I ran up the endless steps,
There is no light, it was completely dark
Not knowing, when will it end.
At the end, was a steel door
Which was sealed shut.
