Challenge of the Week CXXVI
Obsession. Write about obsession. Simple. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
GOLD (C)RUSH.
Time for work
Toiling with many a brick
On with the job
No time to rob,
Every treasure...
For our own pleasure..
Hush, do you hear that sound.
What’s that buzzing so loud?
The group of thieves
Spot a swarm of bees
They had ignored the signs,
Caution, tomb has deadly traps.
Off they scatter
Like gaseous matter
In a corner
They soon cower
From the growls
Much louder than a bear
A form stands tall
It sees them all
They have woken
him: Tutankhamon.
The ground shakes
Was that an Earthquake?
Their bodies land-
In a pile of sand.
They get buried alive
None of them survive
All for the love of gold—
They will now be mummified!
