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.
