supposedly prospecting
for the richly needed gold –
oil not anywhere now to be found.
Life so short mysteries defy
and yet man continues to buy and sell,
as worthless his soul,
to whoever he can.
War rages, men at a loss
difficulties at home
and yet salvation on a cross saves no-one
but their memory of long ago
and that too a mystery but by whom?
So go ahead
search for that precious earthbound need
but you in your endeavours
caused all depletion losses
with your own greed.
Saved by the bell,
but who has it held?
Certainly not at a visual level
otherwise someone would have told.
