Poesy
Crusoe's gold, hidden in the far Coast
Before I begin a succinct moral appreciation. The whole idea is fancied from ROBINSON CRUSOE - movie version which never had SEASON 2 BECAUSE THE ACTOR 'DIED FOR REAL' (that is what I learnt on the Internet though).
Crusoe's gold, hidden in the far Coast
Here Crusoe should be seen as not an oppressor really but a man blurred within his own philosophy. "Gold" is his wealth. Let's imagine or subsume "Coast" too as just anywhere: town, city, state, country... But the original idea was Gold Coast, Ghana.
Plumbing toad, dug her dirt's coat
The "toad" happens to be the only friend Crusoe has on the "Coast", the street where he hides "gold" -- his wealth.
Plumbers who are plumbing get dirty in the course. The toad "dug" gives the image of a toad covered with filth, making it look brownish or blackish. Meaning the toad is implied an African who is close to Crusoe, a white man, in spite. So, the African digs "her", the ground of the Coast just for doing sake.
Toad's told, dug deeper glittering in a richly gloat
Got the gold, toppled up tho' sadly in quote
People who have never cared before look for the "toad", the supposed African person. And they tell him, "Hey man, your white friend, Crusoe has died in his sophisticated boat! His last words for you were that you'd dig deeper..." He continues to dig, finds a gold, digs the more, finds more. He curses Crusoe for hiding his wealth, rejoices for having gold and weeps at the same time.
Common cold, comely guised its cold oat
Crusoe's told, to have died of his fancy boat
It's African to say that the picture hung on the wall falls when someone close to someone dies. Or strange wind blows the curtain apart all of a sudden. The case with the plumbing "frog" explains that African belief. But it has to do with the climate changing all of a sudden from the brutish hot to "cold" to inform the frog, the African person that Crusoe's died.
Hands the gold, but yet long for Crusoe's note.
He has the gold, jumps out with it back into the house, all he meets is emptiness.
Gold is in his hands but his heart is filled with emptiness because he's lost his only true friend.
He feels, the gold though has made him rich forevermore but forevermore, his friend will never return from the dead. And the gold cannot buy him life; feels to be blamed for not being there for the friend.
He regards the gold less, and goes for the friend's old note to keep.
End of Moral Interpretation
Moral Lessons Derived
I know all of us would wake again on every other morning, thinking too much of ways to make money.
Thus the abbreviation (MMM) MONEY MUST BE MADE.
But to what end man?
Let's not in the course of chasing frivolous things like 💸 money, forget the most important things around us money cannot buy.
Remember your family👨👩👦, remember your siblings, remember your friends, remember everyone.
Relate with them, laugh, dance, smile, crack jokes with them.
Good memories as well as good deeds done cannot be sold and cannot be bought with currencies.
Value healthy RELATIONSHIPS with all you have got.
Let her know she is beautiful when she can say thank you.
Let him feel he can be happy when he can still smile.
Let her know she is as good as angel even tho' she'd be the worst.
But still relate based on TRUTH ALWAYS FOR NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.
