Rainbow gold could cause problems

Please No Gold

by HarryT

What if there were gold at the end of the rainbow?
It would be a horrid thing, so I say please no

Only rich with "I gotta have" mentality
have funds to purchase the needed technology

Wholly ego-driven, power hungry gurus
would try to seek the gold, a fierce race would ensue

Seeking the Rainbow goal, countries will join the fray
Disputes lead to violence to our great dismay

Is it not enough, our world now spills with conflict?
Oil wars, religious wars viciously inflicted

The world does not need another reason to hate
of this I believe there would be little debate

Happy to say that the rainbow gold is a myth
Planted by the dreamers who like to say, "What if?"
