Trash and turmoil

I have been searching
Barefoot and bare minded
Through the trash surrounding me
Hopelessly digging
But I cannot find where
Another mans treasure could be

I know that it's in there
Buried in trash
What someone else finds gold
I've seen people find it
And try to make rash
How they see a rose in my mold

So I took up my shovel
It shook in my hands
As I sifted through my murky grove
But I kept on digging
Uncovering nothing
Except how deep I had dove

Now I am buried
Too deep to recover
In another mans winnings, my waste
But I will stay here
For I too should be rotting
In my treasures I'd be misplaced
