Fool's Gold

An abundance of riches
Glittering in stupidity
Gold fools
Dancing in their misery

Find a name
Point finger
Start to blame

Hide the shame
Dismiss
Repeat again

A hoard of currency
Spent upon the empty
Stripped tunnels
Only full of self pity

Sunken mine
Dull without a glimmer
Hollow mind
Matte convinced of shimmer

Thoughts left thinner
Shallow and non-waded
A penny for your thoughts
Simpleton aggravated

Tunneled vision
On track
Given decision

Off the rails
Rusted trail
Abandoned stare

Dead canary
Still ventures further in
Light headed
Heavily convinced

You bought a fortune
Invested all you had
Led astray
Now there's no turning back
