There was an assassination attempt
Made today on the American people
Not in body but in the content
Of their character
Questions went unanswered
The DOW closed down 400 points
Still gold and platinum soared
It seems that all things rare
Hold the higher value
Enter the prospector
Searching for truth
Nary a vein could be found
In or around the capitol
For there one can only find fools truth
Or maybe a few old eroded flakes of truth
Yet the prospector went on digging
Hoping to become rich
Beyond his wildest dreams
If then he were actually able
To find that which had eluded him
For a life time
What would be its value?
Surely he would never have to work again
For priceless is that which is as nearly
Impossible to find as one ounce of truth
