Ask Yourself Why.

Nothing is new under the Sun.

Oh, heart, why do you remain oblivious in this world?

Day and night you tirelessly pursue wealth and treasures,

all your days spent on a chasing after the wind. 

What do we gain from all the toil and anxious striving with which we labor under the Sun?

Our profits from this decaying world merely burial shrouds.

And what of the riches the flesh can't touch

from whence will they come?

For my petitions keep falling on deaf ears.
