Would I sell my soul for a bit of old gold?

Mankinds' most sought after metal for all to behold

Through years back in time the rich and divine

Have murdered the masses to protect their shrine

But o how it shines it's blinding my eyes if I could just hold it all would be fine

Must stop these thoughts because I know too well

Wealth is not the answer it leads to hell

Old gold is just as tarnished as new gold has become

It's main competitor being oil by the drum.

From the ancient 'Three Kings' at Jesus's birth

Traded by countries to market it's worth

The gold plated Rolex and the saturated sheiks

To gold plated iPods for technology geeks

Morals have been blurred over the course of time

Forget thy neighbour I'm out for what's mine

The greed and the lust leaves rubble and dust

O old gold have you we must.
