A powerful and beautiful poem with a meaningful message. The title and the recurring lines, As Coins Tinkled made the this poem powerful. Liked the way it was crafted too, it gives a great impact on the theme of corruption. Another brilliant write.10+++

As coins tinkle…… History repeats through eons; Treachery, Corruption And betrayal Replicated, Endless, Timeless, With masks donned! .......so touching and impressive. This is really a beautiful poem related to corruption. Thanks for sharing.10

we in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...........God Bless Her! ..................... know of no such coin tinkling! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! we use paper money, checks, electronic transfers and favors of whatever sort. WE ARE more advanced! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! bri :)

A Beautiful poem Valsa, that brought the facts of life which we are going through. Everything just for coins. Very true said in each lines, its a history and going to repeat itself. Beautiful presentation. Loved reading it. I wrote a similar poem especially on greed but didn't publish it.

The refrain As coins tinkle add to the merit of the wonderful poem that deals with treachery, corruption, betrayal which are endless and timeless in the history of mankind. Thank you for this beautiful write, Valsa.

We all have observed history and events being repeated at regular intervals. History books, newspaper and magazine archives and even our dailies will provide us proof to corroborate your observation. What is appalling is the fact that some atrocious events continue to be repeated quite frequently with impunity as the coins tinkled. The matter assumes mammoth proportions going by the kind of response generated by this poem. I must thank, Valsa ji.

Your poem uses the refrain AS COINS TINKLED to powerful effect. This is what American poets call a Poem of Witness. It used to be called political poetry, but any use of the politics is vexed. So Carolyn Forche and others coined the term Poem of Witness because that's what you are doing - looking steadily at what Shakespeare called THE WORLD'S SLIPPERY TURNS, not just the injustice and violence but the hypocrisy and indifference.

Money, though a necessity, is also the root cause of mammoth trouble that has plagued and ravaged the mankind through its history. A fabulous write.

The bitter truth spelt out here......Valsa......money fills this world with sorrow and care, fills the mind with the fruit of evil, robs the mind of peace.........a great poem with wonderful composition....10/10

A powerful condemnation of money and the effect greed has had on our behaviour. I love the title which seems to give money its own voice and the way you've repeated the title to emphasize how the desire for money causes the same wrongs to repeat themselves throughout history.

Thank you Valsa. This is a reminder to us all of the greedy. Have you ever heard the saying? ...Money doesn't make the world go round, but it makes the ride so much nicer.. Yet greed really has taken over.

Money corrupts the weak minds and leads them to treacherous acts to acquire wealth by any means. There are many instances from history and mythology. These acts keep repeating. Beautifully presented in the poem as coins tinkled.

Truth hidden under a golden shine Human mind always support touch of solace, Love is really peaceful we want live a world gold of God live with us we want come together to live a peaceful world.....

M, am, you have come out pretty strong here. The poem is a river in rage. (10)

It is matter of sad. Such things are happening due to greed of wealth or money. Many have forgotten values of life and humanity. A thought provoking poem shared really. Wonderful drafting.

Yes, money is behind much of the evil in the world that we see, but could that mean the Bible is right then, that we are all born sinners in desperate need of Grace and that this is the root cause? What a miracle it is then that Christ's blood was shed to redeem the world and save our souls. Gives new meaning to the phrase, 'For God so loved the world...'

You are right but I could not understand as to why the coins tinkle?

Absolutely so, be it in West, East, North or South, immaterial. Coins ruin ethics and values all over. Wonderful writing. Thank you for sharing. It's 10 from me.

Happenings of the world is just like the events narrated in this poem. likes.
