Skin and bone may make a trove,
Who are those who treasure those?
Time had fled and so had skin,
Leaving behind a bony film.
I once saw those who coveted those,
Set them in a glass box surrounded by their foes,
Told those who asked,
that they were Kings of Old.
I saw no crowns on their heads,
Nor a word on their beds,
If there were I could not decipher,
The intricacies of ancient literature.
Yet they said those bones were migthy,
Of those descendant from divine deities.
There was no name nor a single proof,
For the contents in it were all but loot.
What that remained was a brown old coin,
It may have been all but soil.
Time had flown and once again,
The museum was a pillage fest.
They left no Gold nor silver wares,
All that was left was a bony lair.
No stories can be told about rotten bones,
What do the scholars make of those?
