Gold Fever

Gold,in many different color's
has effected mankind for age's

Beside's our popular gold,gold
we had white gold,the salt trade
now,we have black gold,oil/gas

"He who has the gold,make's the rule's"

Domination and control
of earthly material's
domination and control
of all the trade route's
domination and control
of earthly inhabitant's

White gold fell to progress
refrigeration,now just flavoring
gold,gold,our basic standard
a constant monetary figure
black gold,we'll see how long
red gold appeared as bloody slave trade...

But,you've got to wonder
what will be our next gold fever ?

In different ancient writing's
most agree on similar aspect's
the (4) cardinal direction's
the four season's
the four color's of mankind
being,white...black...yellow and red

Gold...true gold
what is our next gold fever ??
