Mi Vanidad

 The words of the Preacher, 

the son of David, 

king in Jerusalem. 

Vanity of vanities, 

saith the Preacher, 

vanity of vanities; 

all is vanity...

~ Ecclesiastes 1

No, they don't sing any more
"I'll die without your love"
They don't scream 

"I can't stand 

this suffering any more,
I want to live..." 

Beautiful song

Since there's been no evil
All the world laughs
At my anxiety
I call it "poetry"
They say "vanity"

“The woman you put here with me... 

she gave me some fruit from the tree, 

and I ate it.”

recalling it only as waters gone by.

I will come forth as gold.
