Notes About The Poem

just put the word 'such' in place of 'so' right now..' I see this has a feature on soup home page for which I am grateful, I wonder did anyone pick out the 'deeds shout out line' that that follows the old adage that deeds

speak louder than words..'

Vanity-Vanity

before the first man made from clay, you caused the seas that toss today, also the
earth you made by hand, it bring forth fruit you did command! arrayed the heavens
sun and moon,.

 With living stars the voids festoon.! or perhaps this fame is all undue? a
fallacy a lie untrue! and many people do such expound, that this is so! from
what they've found:) 

For they can and will explain, that the elements state it all so plain, and that from
these alone all life came forth, yet in my ignorance I’ll say, in a vacuum case
these things could stay." and then times-plus they should be able to show  

how life was formed the way they know.! and yet.! and yet.' I must confess.! And  from
what I’ve seen I must digress.' for some women & men,we have been told, with, scientific
apparatus have so to say struck gold.! they planned and wrought, schemed and thought

And brought forth life I do believe." having thought about this quite a while.."
 And though my instinct finds it vile; they’ve proved one point... To me past doubt.!

CREATION CREATION... Their deeds shout out..!

enjoying this one again, Joe. And no, things are no better than ever, but we are just getting by. I worry greatly for the future when we will be unable to work for all the expenses they are going to start putting on older people i just found out even Medicare will cost a premium each month and our social security checks, if we even get them in ten years from now, will barely cover the cost of our health care. How will we ever live on nothing??

Very clever and some of them have been known to change their minds after their efforts. My poem has taken a lighter way of saying much the same thing.I have been sick with bad cold and cough so am slow reading ad commenting. Love, Joyce

Hey Joe! Hmmmm...you are a profound thinker. This feels somewhat like a oration. It's not at all a vice disclaimer, but vanity doesn't always bode well? I've read this over 3 times...I still feel I've missed something.:) Best to you and yours, Mikki

impressive, Joe vanity is a role thought to us long ago. it is funny how we are programed to deal with this reflection of life. I say life is a creation of flaws & lies. enjoyed your poem,..p.d.
