Notes About The Poem

" GLORIFICATION " MY PHOTO, ©

Ephemeral and Eternal Glory

What a tragedy,

to see so many of our fellow men, 

willingly to relinquish their souls' eternal glory  

just

to enjoy a few vainglorious cheers on the 

ephemeral plane!

Demetrios Trifiatis July 31, 2020 at 5:03 AM Yes, they unfortunately do . Only at the end of their lives they remember the eternal. Thank you for your kind comment my dearest friend, Vijay.
