(there’s an essay version of this poem. The essay’s title is the same as the poem’s title)
Without a doubt, a silver coin has worth
But it alone can’t make you own the earth.
For a silver coin, don’t put so much stress
And don’t exaggerate its helpfulness
Except if it has a unique value
And reasonably, it impresses you.
So run from the world’s value deception.
Live life having a good disposition.

Very true ! For 30 pieces of silver Judas had betrayed Jesus , and purchased for himself eternal hell fire and damnation ! -Raj
