VAIN THINGSA Poem by Onyeuche Godson It's obvious that everyone after death will never go to the grave with all the vain things he has - called riches and wealth...
Vain things, vain things! All these are vain things Where men seek gold, Yet they are told; it’s a load Of Death who smiles in the cold Just for all these vain things
Vain things, vain things! Scientific innovation-things Where they take over the world But their intention on man is odd These vain things are but one lord The lord of death, yet on vain things
Vain things, vain things! Men dig and sweat for vain things Cold of the night is fast approaching with sweet pit Those who chase vain things chase shadow in a kit Ornaments and silver smile in graves like a decayed
wheat Oh! What a world of vain things
Vain things, vain things Though meant to help life, yet vain things But men chase these invisible man like treasure A treasure of sweet-pain without measure All at last head in trust to the grave �" a permanent
leisure Why not crave for eternity, rather than vain things?
