Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Vanity and the Wise

Vanity offered the wise eternal glory among men 

But 

He emphatically declined.
 
Surprised,
 
Vanity inquired about the reason for his rejection 

Which he gave her without much delay: 


“Eternal glory among men is something non-existent 

for 

fleeting the men's world is and fleeting will remain,  

no matter how many more millennia, men manage on this  

planet to stay.


Moreover,

another reason for my refusal, I will give you, and this you  

should keep very well in Mind,

the glory that my soul seeks, you will never be able to offer

for 

to the heaven it belongs and only, the heaven can provide!"

As I told you already these three poems I wrote be cause you expected something mine to read thus you were the reason not for the theme but for the writing! Thank you so much for your support, my friend, Timothy. God bless you!
