I Have Watched the World

I HAVE WATCHED THE WHOLE WORLD I have sit here and watched the whole world Like the king of israel, solomon I came to realised that life does not worth living Rather it calls for enjoyment; eat, drink and merry Nothing more than that in this phase of our life Man today, dust tomorrow I have watched the whole world From the shinning heaven to the black earth Nothing is ever new under the sun All have existed before my forebears Even as I write, they are all vanity Man today, dust tomorrow Being wise and yet foolish is the world No one has it all but foolishness and stupidity Govern mankind under the sound and air of the earth Man die, plant feed on man, plants kill man Man kills plant and ant eat man, man eats ant All is vanity and beyond comprehension The possession we boast of are evil Evil to the eyes of our maker yet man Craves for the madness, madness over Their possessions which is not theirs Insanity in the mind brings the madness on earth I have watched the whole world and nothing is worth Dying and craving for better than eat and drink Listen! You men that craves for your hands Soon you shall loose it including your head Then the ant shall feast body that had Since been decorated, cramed and painted with So many frangrances which are evil Take heed that you don't get deceived By the fresh air of women in the street They are evil to man of the earth Take heed man, so thou fall not like Adam For it was woman who made the world evil Eve test of the apple had caused the downfall Of human race, woman, once the sacred giver of life Was now the enemy Beware of the madness of the earth They are vanity unto the eyes of our maker I have seen the whole world and see man is sand The ultimate goal is you trust God and be true to Yourself, replace your excuses with reasons and everything will become clear and know everything You can about your doing Man is nothing under the sun of the earth But answerable to his maker on the judgemen day Who are thou then to fight and boast of your possession? Take heed that you fall not and cry on your foolishness.
