vanity

it's all vanity

vanity of vanities

but if it wasn't for our ego-oriented-mind and our selfishness

how would we ever want to live?

how would we even want to leave our beds and take a move?

why do we move? we haste to nowhere

we go in no direction though we think we are going somewhere

we go in circles but we are certain we are going and going fast

and don't you dare to interrupt us

traffic jams make us mad because of this, damn!

because we think we are going somewhere

we are just like a dog chasing its tail

but we don't realize that, because we are in a hurry to go

we think we have a destination and somewhere far in space and time

we will find something that will proof to be worth all the way traveled

vanity of vanities

we are but headed to the tomb

we are but destined to become dust and food for worms

we are vain and will pass in a twinkling and in the blinking of an eye

and why is that that she doesn't want to reveal her age

because she is vain indeed

doesn't she know that in a couple of years she won't even be able to speak nor to hear

and she's right in taking good care of her hair

her teeth and her nails

that's pretty much what's going to be left in the grave

what's gonna last a little more

vanity! it's all vanity

yet she thinks she is so beautiful so powerful

attractive and seducing

and why doesn't he want to be asked questions

because of his ego

because it might be revealed that he is but a slave to his flesh desire and sensations

not that this be a problem

it's a problem bringing that up in public

vanity of vanities

- I see a group of people on a corner

with cameras, cars and lights; they are well clothed

shooting a scene for a commercial or a film

maybe thinking how their trade is so interesting

and how they are interesting and fortunate for doing what only a few are able to do

thinking how important and superior they are just because they are not like everybody else

with that inflated ego caused by so many curious pairs of eyes

they think they are so much more and much better

because they are envied and desired and attractive

full of sins and fast-heart-beating-inducing behavior

fast-heart-beating and sensations-inducing actions

how they are in touch with themselves so much more then

all that average, plain and boring mass of people -

How we are so much more among those 4 walls of perversity and sexual actions that are, in the end,

what is really interesting and important

it's what it's all about, achieving pleasure and orgasms and attention

such an obscure objective that, is isn't it?

not really, not important at all

in fact, it's just a drop of rain in the ocean

another wave tossed

just an empty vessel of an used up drug of which effect has run out

of one's vein

not even that it is

it's only meaningless and unimportant

cruel reality unavoidable as it is in these state, way and time

but don't take heed of these words

don't even let your eyes run through them and have the smallest of a chance

to get near your mind or heart or intellect

these reckoning and reflections are so old-fashioned and uninteresting

so out of context nowadays, just not current anymore

it's for old folks

philosophy is dead, the old gods are dead

the new gods rule now

and don't you dare to query about each person's gods or idols

it is not proper of good mannered ladies and gentlemen with etiquette and style!

that pleases the phony people and produce in them a friendly and approving grin

approval at last, even if disguised of indifference, carelessness and rebellion

and if it wasn't for our hunger, our stomach's cry?

we might not even want to move a muscle

we would remain motionless if it wasn't for our hunger and hedonism and sexual desire

And on the long run we would cease existing.

We are but animals, yet so vain

Vanity of vanities

it's all vanity
