THE TREASURE OF GOLD

 Today's blog post is an excerpt from my poetry book. For the next couple of weeks, I will be updating this blog with excerpts from the book; POETIC THOTS.

*****************************

Some great men of old

Were great merchants of gold.

Whom all their beings were placed on the amount sold

The enormity of the currency of gold

Has made them forget the evil of gold

They dined and make use of the gold cutlery

The treasure of gold of the men of old

Had brought unending evil upon them 

And the war that led to their calamitous end

Their knights were compromised at night

And all their armed men were bought with the money of gold

Their defense wall was breached

Their enemies walked in with ease

Visionary men died with their visions

There were loss of lives and property

But the treasure of gold by the men of old

Had made them lost their sanity

Dreamers with their dreams went to visit the silent ones

People were hopeless and homeless

Couples turned to widows and widowers

But the spirit of gold by the men of old

Had made them sold their honors

Is this treasure truly worth their honors?

They underestimate the evil of gold

And couldn’t clean their messes with the money of gold.
