Enchanting Rush
There is a mad rush to a place
and an unprecedented chase
going on in different phase
know not how to face.
There is a gold find there.
The people flock to share.
They take extreme care.
Hope it is not a snare.
Slogging and toiling day and night
Time passes on in a the site.
Unearthing the yellow metal in the plight.
making a fortune at sight.
On hearing there is more rush
as people throng with a push
informing all to keep hush
as it would bring in a big crush.
Mining goes on for days
Every day's record is beaten in ways.
Men collect gold with a craze.
They grow rich in a daze.
The power of wealth is great
Acquiring it in a rate
unmindful of the fate
looks enchanting on date.
