Coin of Reverence

It is often said you get paid in your own coin you arduously accumulate, which happens when the table turns, and destiny rolls the wrong dice for you. You strive to climb the ivory tower, the price you pay with the money you pile up, often making designed forays on dubious course into the realms of grey. You try to fill treasure in the vacuum, may end up in the end being one. You deceive none other than yourself, let your priceless self-esteem devalue. You stockpile the wealth for the future, that never comes, and you depart. Let the conscience act in the present, help the needy with your benevolence. You’d then find place in many hearts, and get paid in the coin of reverence. June 13, 2021 Contest : $ Sponsor : Anthony Biaanco
