Unstoppable Human Vanity


What’s with the world?
For long have we repeatedly believed
That change is the only constant
Yet when history lessons are studied
One sees humanity’s foresight stagnant

Wars, poverty and ravages of human vice
As predictable as life always leading to death
Yet in cotton candy-like castles of self-induced grandiosity
We live, glossing over mountains of strife
Collectively encased in ephemeral shields of profound vanity

Before death beckons.. ask yourself.. Have you lived any differently!
