What is the message of the poem The Last Bargain?

1 Answer

  1. The message of the poem The Last Bargain is that we should never desire worldly things like power, money and beauty. They are short-living and worthless. They do not give peace and joy to the soul. They always create fear of losing them in the minds of those who own them.
