The Gold Which Didn'T Glitter

THE GOLD WHICH DIDN'T GLITTER I remember when I was nine(9) years old As young as I was, I was told That,not all that glitters is gold I always walked chest out and bold But I saw a gold which didn't glitter I stood for a while and begun to wonder Asking lot of questions, demanding an answer Passing by, I saw a stranger She decided to give me a helping brain I was afraid to give the gold to her I gave it out holding my fists in pain I was obsessed with fear Then she laughed in a ridiculous way She continued to say 'This is not a gold but a stone' Out of anger,I said 'My eyes are my own' She left while laughing I stood there wondering In no time,I saw a dude He was walking nude I clothed him and gave him food I hid the gold from him But he saw it in his dream He took it from the pit He asked why I doubted it He then showed it to the sun Its brightness, I couldn't stand It penetrated my eyes On ground, I saw remains of Ice At a moment I was wowed How was the Ice thawed? He said 'This is the real gold of nature' Until you know it, it will never glitter On the blade of its tongue, It tastes bitter On the flesh, It is the sweetest When the knowledge about is a smarter, You devalue it for the rest The cover doesn't matter Its whole is the brightest and best. REAL PEOPLE IN LIFE...
