Yellow Metal Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Gold is a precious metal
And known as yellow metal too
It's great role to beautify a woman
And to qualify country's economy.
Gold used as currency
or standard of currency
throughout history
Paper money also linked to it.
If price of gold increases
Economy becomes weaker
when declines
Favours economy to be strong.

Gold prices not affected
By it's supply or demand
Because one fourth of demand
Met from recycled gold.
It's related to stock market
Balance of payment
money circulation and import-export.
India imports 69 commodities
Gold one of them
Highest in quantity
about 8.5 percent of total import.

One tenth of it used in industry
Rest used by jewelers, coin collectors
and Reserve Bank of India
Indians officially won 18000 tons of gold
11 percent of global stock
Largest in world.
But unofficially own many more tons
India still a golden bird
People owns gold in tolas
temples in tons
If all the gold thrown at one place
Another one Himalayas can be created.
