"VANITY"

After you’ve gained it all,

gathered for yourself earthly treasures

greater than an empire

and satisfied your lust beyond Solomon’s pleasures,

be tempted not in your ‘wise’ eyes that you stand tall:

not even against what men have station.

Take heed lest you return not        

from the fool’s pride

that what is the use of a man’s wealth if not

mansions, liquors and on his side

over a thousand #vaginas to conquer:

which is often a mad man’s position.

Alas, the Mighty Hand folds all

your ages sweat and toil      

and your remains

which you fattened with proteins

while you lived

be left to the earth’s worms

and worse your soul be vanquished

beyond noticeable forms.

I fear less because calm

awaits me should I be done and gone

but until then

I gaze and cling to the Light and when

the trumpet shall sound and time

shall be no more and none

as clay escapes not the potter's palm

shall escape the Maker

when the roll is called up yonder,

Be in the known that after you’ve gained it all

and as Silas Manner hoarded earthly treasures -

the Mighty hand shall fold it all

and He shall turn into ashes your many treasures and pleasures!
