Notes About The Poem

" VANITY " MY PHOTO, ©

Ignoble People

They try to shrink the world into their

Deplorable size   

For 

To magnify their insignificant selves so as

Great men in the eyes of the world to 

Appear,


But


They fall into the abyss of infamy-

Victims of their vindictive vanity-

Where forgotten shall remain into

Eternity!

Vijay Pandit July 8, 2021 at 5:01 AM Their smallness won't fool anyone. Message well delivered my friend. Vibrant colors in your photo. Demetrios Trifiatis July 8, 2021 at 5:29 AM Thank you for your precious support, my dearest friend, Vijay. True, they may not fool a lot of people but certainly their actions hurt many. Blessings !

Sotto Poet July 8, 2021 at 4:05 AM It's not an exaggeration to say that your poem, dear friend Demetrios, has touched the lives of so many who try to control everything in order to exalt their personal ego and receive recognition as saints, but who in reality sow more hatred and vanity. Great poem and immaculate ideas. Blessings and kindest regards Demetrios Trifiatis July 8, 2021 at 4:52 AM Many times I have watched those people belittle their fellow men just to show superiority and found such actions a disgrace of human dignity. Thank you, my dearest friend, Lasaad for standing by my side on this. We ought to fight these evil people for to defend the good people . God bless you for your kind heart.
