Action and ...


Ecclesiastes 1:3 

3 What benefit do people get from all the effort
which they expend on earth?

 

 

Action and …

 

Talk-talk words galore

like rushing of the wind

Debates and screams

despair and dreams

and poverty will come

 

Work-work never ending work

business all around

Make a buck

until it sucks

prosperity condones

 

Flesh-flesh all is flesh

a dominating force

Comfort searched

well deserved

feeling all alone

 

Thoughts-thoughts endless thoughts

blowing in the wind

Can be found

all around

searching for its own
