Gold

 

The weighing scale doesn’t differentiate

between gold and iron,

But the human heart does,

In the human heart

a gram of gold is worth

thousands of green trees,

It’s more valuable than

even many other human hearts,

The trees can be cut,

Trust broken,

Air polluted,

Earth poisoned,

And souls singed,

All this can be done

to uphold the value of gold;

to maintain its ruling crown;

its authority and superiority

over life, love and smile.
