Vanity. Vanity. Ev'rywhere I turn.....
In all that I love or hate at least upon the earth.
Vanity. Vanity. I cannot escape.
It haunts relentlessly from day to day!
Week to week, month to month,
Year to year as time speeds on:
Ev'rything I do or think,
Ev'rything bitter or sweet.
Vanity. Vanity. My earthly hopes and dreams.....
All I ever wanted, got, or was denied to me.
Vanity. Vanity. My earthly joys and pains,
All I ever lost and all I gained!
Born a baby, growing up,
Being a teen and having fun;
Romance, jobs, and growing old....
Our lives are as a tale told!
Vanity. Vanity. All the people dear to me!
Vanity. Vanity. All my memories!
Vanity. Vanity. Ev'rything for earth I do!
Oh VANITY.....for this earth true!

- Comment from author about the poem: So I took a tune from a favourite record, and came up with different lyrics......go ahead, tear into it...find fault with the message, find fault with the metre(is there a metre?)...and say it is too low on the scale to rate. Maybe I shouldn't publish it?

It definately deserves to be published in my view.
Well, thank you very much for saying so and for rating it so high. For my part, I am indecisive.
