Silver and Iron

Silver chain through an iron ring,
Why cherish such an ugly thing?

You hold it dear and hold it close,
Neglect the one that matters most.

Circling your neck and down your chest
Caress, that you would like it best.

Those delicate links through hardened black
Will cry the tears your closed eyes lack.

This is about people who choose to cherish something of little or no value over something of much, much greater value. They do not see what is in front of them. Why put an iron ring on a silver chain? Which is of greater value?
