Vanity

Oh look, I'm the most beautiful
Not a spot or a mole
Perfect shape, figure and face
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who Is the fairest of them all
Wait..I see a pimple
Oh no, a wrinkle
My hair is gray
My body looks frail
Oh yes, that what you are going to look like
Maybe if you live till you are old
I'm only telling what I was told
And this you should know
Vanity upon vanity
All is vanity.

Hey there..I'm the richest
Every body knows my name
Donald Trump has no game
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the richest of them all
Wait...can see my stock crumbling
The recession is hitting
Oh no...The flood..my buildings
Oh yes, that's how you would feel
When the chips are down
Helpless like the king who lost his crown
I'm only telling what I was told
And this you should know
Vanity upon vanity
All is vanity

Life is a passing shadow

"Vanity upon vanity, the preacher say...All is vanity".These were the words from the first reading of today. I'm a Catholic..that's if you haven't already figured out. The gospel reading  went further to give credence to the above saying with the story of the Rich fool.
This wise man thought he had it all...so he said to himself; be happy and merry for you have  food to last you for ever. How naive could he be? that very day, his soul was demanded of him.
