Vanity of Vanities

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity
Life we live and death we die, that is vanity
Knowledge we gain and sorrow we increase, that is vanity
Wisdom we run after and emptiness we experience, that is vanity
Race we finish and new race we begin, that is vanity
Love we long for and hatred we gain, that is vanity
Toil we on the soil and join we the soil soon, that is vanity
Reap we the harvest and hunger we the next day, that is vanity
Peace we say and wars we wage, that is vanity
Laughter we laugh and cry we all along, that is vanity
New rhyme we sing and lo, that was already sung, that is vanity
Satellites we launch and explored we nothing, that is vanity
Businesses we start and paupers we make, that is vanity
Intelligence we possess and nought we are, that is vanity
Sun we await for and notice we the setting, that is vanity
Stars we see and look we for a new star, that is vanity
Mansions we build and live we elsewhere, that is vanity
Behold, from start to finish, all is vanity
Clarity we need on who Christ is, for all is vanity
