Leprechaun's Gold

People searched far and wide,
Looking for something they can't find.
“At the end of the rainbow!” They would say,
But trudged unhappily home at the end of the day.
People grew untrustworthy and greedy,
Trying to find something that was ugly and beady.
Things grew violent, malicious and angry,
Children grew sick, faded and hungry.
Wanting their parents love and support,
But they turned their back, cross their arms and snort.
So the children ran away,
A place where its safe to play.
A place where the angry people can't find,
A place where they can run and hide.
A place far away from the Leprechaun's Gold,
A place far away from the sinister cold.
A place in their head,
every time they pray and go to bed.

2008-01-25 [Fizban]: This is an un-official contest right?

2008-01-25 [Lin-tastic]: Last I knew, it was. Are you interested in competing?

2008-01-25 [nehirwen]: This is an unofficial contest indeed, as you won't get a pretty badge in your badge slot. (you may put one in your description though)

2008-02-02 [Lin-tastic]: -giggles- It's good to know about that. lol We should make an informative page for each of them, the basic history of the festival, but that would mean more work, wouldn't it?

2008-02-02 [nehirwen]: Nah, that job is for the description entrants to do.
But you may look up a wikipedialink for a starter. :)

2008-02-02 [Lin-tastic]: Sounds like fun, huh? I'm thinking of entering something into each contest...Oh, and a little surprise for the staff of Festivals. ;D It should be fun. xD
