The Vanity of Life

The vanity of life, a fleeting thing,

A shadow in the wind, a song without a ring.

A show that’s soon forgotten, a tale that’s quickly told,

A glimpse of what could be, a story that grows old.

We chase after fame, and riches untold,

We seek to be remembered, in tales that never grow old.

But in the end, what is left behind,

Is a legacy of emptiness, a life that was not kind.

The vanity of life, a chase after the wind,

A search for the meaning, of a purpose we cannot find.

A quest for the answers, a thirst for the truth,

A longing for something, that seems just out of reach, uncouth.

We build up our empires, and seek to be known,

We pour out our hearts, and we suffer alone.

But all that we leave, is emptiness behind,

A void in the world, a life that was not kind.

So let us embrace, the truth that we find,

A life that is full, and a heart that is kind.

For the vanity of life, is just a fleeting thing,

A shadow in the wind, a song without a ring

People Issues

People issues, oh people issues, 

They come in all shapes and all sizes. 

Some are big and some are small, 

But they all can make us feel so small.

 

The way we talk, the things we say,

Can hurt someone in such a way, 

That scars may last for years to come, 

And we may never know what we've done.

 

We fight and argue, point and blame, 

And sometimes we forget why we came. 

Together, as one, we can achieve so much, 

But it takes understanding and a gentle touch.

 

We all have struggles, we all have pain, 

But it's important to remember to refrain, 

From judging or hurting those we meet, 

For we never know what they may be facing on the street.

 

So let's be kind, let's be fair, 

Let's show compassion and that we care. 

People issues, oh people issues, 

Can be resolved when we share tissues.

 

Let's work together, let's unite, 

And make this world a better sight. 

For people issues may come and go, 

But with love and kindness, we can grow.
