Riddle Poem
Glistening in the incandescent sun,
An exuberant faction overjoyed with triumph.
A glorious acquisition has been achieved.
Engraved for eyes of future generations,
A plinth to wield the accomplishment.
Auriferous is the main depiction,
A chalice too valuable for drinking.
Sheathed with the dust of time.
Trapped behind a false mirror.
Fewer become enticed,
By it’s sullen magnificence.
Those who get arrested into a gaze,
Are left to bethink,
Of the austerity faced by those,
To obtain this tribute.
Guess what it's about :)
