Treasures Midden

Treasures Midden
David J Walker
 
It is in the midden 
The story hidden 
In the heap 
 
The truth entwined 
With dung and grime
To keep
 
As secrets from the 
Eyes less bold
 
Where orates swear 
To the foulest air from
Truth in scripted told
 
The dung heap 
Is where the 
Cleric keeps
His gold

...for who would dare to dig into such a pile of dung for gold? Secrets such as his should be uncovered.
