IF VAINGLORY WERE
If vainglory were a preacher
It'd resemble a rustic pastor
Lost in how profound his grasp of scripture is
Therefore echoes more of his fervent faith
Than the Creator's boundless might.
If vainglory embodied a nation
It would mirror a union divided
52 pieces striving for cohesion
But only sowing seeds of discord
A world seen as a science Lab for experiments.
If vainglory wore human form
It'd take the guise of godlike leaders
a Trump, a Thatcher; perched on pedestals
Viewing the world as a puzzle to solve
Unaware that forcing fit leads to vanishing
