Vanity Poem by Itohan Stephanie #

ted fat with emulous
It's ineffable.we all get disappointed
Why did I come here?
What is my purpose.?

where will I be after here?
Placid enough to tarry
Till the candles burns out
Serene before who made me so?

Unruffled smiles beaming in my youth
Beaming as the newness of the rising sun
It's never enough
In all my riches, I feel penurious

In my gold in all my diamonds yet deficient
now I grieve my peace.
Sorry and ungratified
Food failed to sate this hunger. My soul feels hungry

Have traveled the world
Yet my soul so unsatisfied
My soul wants more
So to what point is all my riches

Even in abundance I felt needy
My deep pockets is all nothing From one vanity to another
My riches was my penury

True wealth comes when the soul remembers its has a Creator
The world is not equipped to satisfy the soul it does not have what it takes to satisfy me

In this hunger, only GOD can sate me
The Lord is our home
When the soul gets tired
We remember GOD our true Home.

The world starved me
In emptiness I dangled
Now the Bible fed me fat
My hunger finally sated
