LINED WITH VELVET
This open book is inundated…
With lots of work that we've created
The power of many pens has bitten…
Spreading news to those unsmitten
Our chains have all been cast aside…
At last as giants we walk with pride
Ingested now our declaration…
Master’s of our destination
Every place upon this earth…
Where we can realise our worth
We've realised the magnitude…
Of what’s been lost by attitude
A wealth of opportunity…
And proud of our impunity
Come in and educate yourself…
In here there is no place for pelf
The poems of poets and gracious prose…
Have eloquently brought this to a close

Quick editing second to last stanza "in here *there* is no place for pelf."
Great metaphor! Great poem!
