and what is gold to utopians?

and there I was smirking 

as my knight retells the tale 

of the far away land of utopia 

apparently

they use gold as chains and kids toys 

I can’t help but wonder 

what do we do

they would consider 

to be strange for their times 

nonetheless it doesn’t matter 

what values this foolish Utopia has 

I hope to trade with them 

a people we can learn from 

grow to understand and respect 

there’s no reason for us to fight 

I send my knight off 

“Wipe that damn smile off your face!” 

yet I understand… peace is upon us
