The Black Diamonds

[keioss01]

I see them with their black diamonds
I want a black diamond too...
Only those with black diamonds can enter here they told me.
I obtained a black rectangle and I almost got in,
I took but one step and got thrown out.
If only you could fathom my feelings of desertion and agony...
Then maybe you'd understand why I'd love me some honey.
Legends say they have a honey fountain in the black diamond temple.
I'd love a plastic red cup to catch some honey with...
Why can't I have a black diamond?

Bravo :)

I don't quite understand it, but it seems very clever somehow.

Neither legible, nor clever. You're not missing anything.

Does the red cup of honey represent alcohol, somehow?

No, this poem is very straightforward.

I wouldn't take it beyond its face-value... but if you find meaning in it, then who am I to stop you?
