Tiny pieces of translucent stones

Scattered along the shallow streams

Running sluggishly in underground cave

Deep inside the bowels of the earth

Not of any value to the buried skeletons

Seeking their fortunes-- months of travelling

The high craggy treacherous mountains

Infested by dangerous animals, insects

Poisonous water trickiling down to pools

Greed of Man lives forever-  eternal fools

    I agree with you bishu.

 

 

I agree with you bishu. The "riches" of the world are only gotten at the price of causing enviromental and dehumanization carnage. Your poem is a well written reminder of us all to be less materialistic and more cautionary how we go about shaping and forming our environment.
