Poem

8/12/16


It started out with our hands across the lands
For women and man

Later on, changed to wood, and stones
As well as tools made of bones

After a while it was gold
For the lucky, priviledged and old
It stilled grabbed hold
Of many souls
Because they wanted power and full control

Next came copper
Helping others progress and prosper
Deposits found above and below the water
As well as near or far from any poplars

Truth be told
It's disputed on which came first copper, silver or gold?

Let's go on to silver
It helped many pilfer
And was made into currency during Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

Then came lead
Helping others get ahead
Despite how many bled and wound up dead
Underneath skies that were occasionally red

After this was tin
Giving certain people the advantage so that they could win
As other planets and the Earth continued to spin

Now it was iron
That was acquired
Forged and made while using fire
And the same could be said prior

Doesn't matter if
Many metals came after this

The last one I will speak on for now is mercury
Still to this day all these metals and others are used currently
Some of which make tools used in surgery
Either way all are valuable in some way and can net some currency

Still to this day hands are used
Time has shown and prove
