the wealth of nature



In the mining ponds
Where tin ore are extracted
The ground Nature gives
The wealth to her people

Some made it rich
Some lost the ditch
Through gambling
And betting of wealth

The big holes
Men rushed to extract
The wealth in their minds
Some lost their lives

The losers gone
Abandoned the mining ponds
They changed profession
Dreaming of their lost wealth

The abandoned ponds
The depressed people die
Bury themselves in dark water
Suck out their lives

Some make a second wealth
With foresight and enterprising spirit
They changed the mining ponds
Into the wealth of agriculture and buildings

Many losers dream
The lost wealth they made and lost
Through heavy gambling and betting
They never recovered their lives

When wealth is earned
Don't lose it with poor planning
Once it is lost
It will be hard to get up again
