In Vain

Some built their house upon the sand
in vain, they search for peace in the land
they fought hard amidst those that would save
and sided with those who represent the grave
now the jackels they have all set free
time to ponder what their fate will be!

I agree, that’s the worst place to build it because it will be washed away with the first wave. I am searching for a rock now after being flooded twice. I understand the philosophy and the logic in this poem. Great job! ~Joseph
