VANITY IN VANITY

I have searched through the length and breadth of the earth

Hoping for the world of happiness

I have been through the thin and thick in the journey of life

Waiting to see the joy of life

I crawl, walk even run in the pursuit of happiness

I thought my joy will come

If and only if

I can get through elementary education

I can get through high school

I can get through tertiary

But all have not given me my desired joy

Proceeding in the pursuit of happiness

I thought my joy will come

If and only if

I can get a good job

A beautiful mansion

Driving a posh car around

But not yet satisfied

Beautiful wife, lovely kids in my castle

But my heart still panting for more

More money more problems

More power more abuses

More connections more enemies

From cradle to grave is vanity

Vanity in vanity

But in God our comfort, peace and all round beauty are sustained.
