Green and gold are one in the same for both are pure and clean.
Green is nature's gold and gold is Zeus' green.
One preserves life and the other emphasizes,
one is free when the other compromises.
When both are gone our life will end,
one is our enemy and the other our friend.
Both mean power and both mean luck,
beauty and riches if we are heaven struck.
One makes us see clearly and one can make us see red,
and if we choose the latter we could all end up dead.
One resembles a symbol, the other an idea,
like picturing freedom wrapped in a tortilla.
In the beginning gold is like the shining sun
and green seems like everlasting fun,
but the old saying says "What is gold can never stay,"
and just like gold, green too shall fade away...
