WHERE IS THAT TREASURE?

WHERE IS THAT TREASURE?
I want to know, misleading life, where you conceal
the wealth of life which we look for in this short lease.
I am a person who does not care much for fun
but wants to reach the aim for which wise men are born.

I've spent long time among my books to know the way.
They've rendered me without the wealth most people seek.
I try to live my social life, but none sees me
as gold and silver can make men all shine like stars.

I stick to books, to pens and verse, but l am lost.
They may endow me what a few can wish and trust.
But l still find that life on earth is a great chance
for what can shine more than dead gold, or goldless verse.
