She fussed and for long fumed without clue:
How can they wipe out all my value?
Devalued ye sure were,
Vishnu said, long time ere
When gold lost out to paper’s vague hue,
And pray, wealth has value
No more than we imbue.

The Goddess of wealth fumed when high value currency notes were demonetised in India. But then Vishnu revealed the bitter truth: All wealth has a paper-thin borrowed shin. Wealth was devalued long time back when gold and metallic coins lost out to paper. And paper, with surface value, can always be devalued—demonetised.
