EARTHLY VANITIES
What drives
the human heart
to chase and grasp
at fleeting high
living lives of shallow praise?
It’s a shame
the lies they tell
to carve a path
cheating to fill the void
disobeying to master a craft.
But when the day is done
and their name is called
they leave empty-handed
weighed down by thoughts
with not even a car
to keep them company
on the long, lonely road away.
