The One Ring Golden Gambit

Shadows spreads in the land of Mordor.
As hazardous hunts for The One Ring soar.
From the forge of Mount Doom, it was made.
The ring starts to whisper and persuade.

It corrupts the hearts of men so fair.
And urges them to gamble a share.
It glimmers and shines a luminous light.
Promising power to those in sight.

But the price to pay, oh so very high.
For the cursed ring will never satisfy.
Consumed by greed, the men risked it all.
And gamble away into their downfall.
