Rush For Gold Coins Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

Rush For Gold Coins
Caterpillar infected by fungus
Turned gold coin in Himalaya.
Summer insect, winter plant
Miracle of nature
Half insect, half plant
Rush for cordyceps.
Caterpillar Mushroom,
A Libido boosting herb.
Alive worm lost its life
To bless villagers
For better life.
To revive vitality
and restore immune.
Rich are ready to pay so more.
Passionate touch of spores
And termination to grow on.
Like that in touch of King Midas
High altitude transformed into
Place, where people are flowered
With gold coins made from Arshagumba.
Let expect over -exploitation doesn't turn
A Cause of destruction of ecosystem.
