Unworthy is a poem about dungeon pillaging pure and simple, words related to volcano, search, succumb, games hark back to role playing games for me.
Unworthy
Veteran of the volcano fires
submerge into depths of demons
In search of quartation stores
games to some known as foolhardy
Where life and death are the stakes
those who succumb to lavish hoards
Elation being their final mistake
dungeons do not reward the unworthy

- Quartation : So called because usually enough silver is added to make the amount of gold in the alloyed button about one fourth. (In this poem used as a metaphor for metal stores, perhaps electrum or another metal treasure hoard).
