There is more than materialism,
That can be touched...
And is valued!

It is unfortunate...
That those who may have the key,
Fumble around too long
Looking for what they already can possess!

They let time slip by...
Talking about the treasure,
Instead of unlocking it from its confines!

Lawrence S. Pertillar
