Klondike Gold Rush
by David Pekrul
copyright 08-26-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
A rush for gold,
Was a rush so bold,
For the men in Klondike days,
For they said, "Henceforth,
We are heading North,
And we hope that it will pay."

The way was rough,
And a few were tough,
But so many others died,
And the ones who stayed,
Found it seldom paid,
For it seems some people lied.

For they were told,
Streets were paved with gold,
They could go up there and take,
But the ones who took,
Were most often crooks,
And their promises were fake.

In Seattle town,
Miners headed down,
To equip themselves with goods,
But with prices high,
It was hard to buy,
Yet they bought the things they could.

There was little gold,
For the men so bold,
As they worked the mines for pay,
They had had enough,
Doing work so tough,
And they said they wouldn't stay.

Now there's nothing left,
In this land bereft,
Of the glory of its day,
But in Dawson town,
Where the gold was found,
Mining still goes on today.

There seems always to be someone that makes money off the hard work of others. Guess that is what you get by thinking ahead. Deception also makes some get ahead, but I believe they will get what they deserve in the end. Good write, Anthony
