Is it the billions in gold reserves?
NO
Is it the multi millionaires who run vast corporations?
NO
Perhaps its the scientist who waste billions researching
theories that will never work
NO
The wealth of a nation is you
The woman who cleans the public toilets
And earns barely enough to survive
The farmer working in all weather conditions
So you have food on your table
Fishermen who daily risk their lives on your behalf
The young kids in college
These then are the wealth of a nation

YOU ARE THE NATIONS WEALTH
