The Last Kingdom of 1000 Years
What the world would have become without gold?
Answers could not be found for platinum
Nor spoken word could be drawn out for diamond
Even the highly depreciated silver-
To the poor is still uncommon like bronze
Money talks before you get closer to the gems
Money is the language that speaks for all gems
But who controls the language to shiny gold?
I am sure their hearts are as hard as bronze
Blocking our way to precious platinum-
That is in their majestic mansions of silver
Where gates are as unbreakable as diamond
These days, good hearts are as scarce as diamond
So we are robbed of pure spiritual gems
Human souls are valued less than silver-
That is too low to the value of gold
Folks are exploited to dig platinum
And they get not even the worth of bronze
This must be unyielding kingdom of bronze
The devalued metal, unlike diamond-
That adorns empresses, and platinum-
That shines emporors, the owners of gems
All ministers in palaces of gold
Exploiting poor masses for more silver
The real kingdom is coming where silver-
Will be, to everyone, as common as bronze
The great kingdom whose dust will be of gold
The kingdom of infants dangling diamond-
Like toys, where human spirits will be gems-
Surpassing the glitters of platinum
The world crisscrossed by streets of platinum
Everyone jealousing no-one for silver
Beautiful spirits valued more than gems
Conquered and crushed be the kingdom of bronze
So people's worth won't be evaluated in diamond
The Word's Reign respecting not even gold
When the glitters of gold and platinum
And everything that is diamond and silver-
And bronze fall, human gems will reign with Christ
