Metal detecting -
forgotten, hidden, hoped for
treasures old and new.
Hoarding is pointless -
storing keeps but things rot -
worse, the hoarder dies.
Light the best candles -
see the miser's pinched pale face -
and long-lasting gold.
Why do we keep gold?
beautiful, powerful,saved
from enemy gas.
One day Mother Earth will take
bury all that we have made.
