There Lies Buried Treasure

There lies the buried treasure,
Many have died in vain,
In search of forgotten love or pleasure,
There lies the buried treasure.

Life is not true, with no pressure,
For happiness is intangible without pain,
There lies the buried treasure,
That Man, all his life, hopes to gain.
