Tree of Wealth
Emblazoned clearly on a hill
Gleaming in the setting sun
What should be moving, oh so still
Wealth and nature become one
A tree of jewels
beside a sign to see
Warned ye be thou stealing fools
from the branches of this tree
So shy away I did right then
Obsession cut the panicked run
I never thought of theft again
Relinquishing the tempting fun
A tree of wealth
with warning sign
A danger to my needed health
I to my losing fate resign
