Title: BLACK GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Post by: Tyehimba on May 15, 2003, 06:11:25 AM Black Gold
Hidden somewhere below the dusty haze Of an timeless maze;.of creation The fabled gold lay A fabled fortune A priceless treasure A myth said some Whispers of it blew my way One rainy day Enchanting my hungry soul Would this mission bring redemption? An end to the frustration? Staff in hand I trekked through the hostile wasteland Stop! Stop! Stop! Cried my blinkered disbelieving brother Burdened by his vanity He he said it is but a myth But I held steadfast Determined to forge my reality Trodding on wearily Over the steep hills And through the endless valleys Through the backstabbing masses The thorns bit into my bare feet Till I met a battle scarred elder Age-old wisdom etched upon his face The treasure that you seek is over yonder; he said but you have to look within bewildered;.puzzled Within? Within what? He smiled wisely and limped away Disappearing quickly in the dusky twilight A bird whistled in the distance And I suddenly realized the significance Oh! What great treasures I behold My wealth was now limitless Black gold when found is indeed priceless My countenance now radiated with understanding Ras Tyehimba |
