Vanity
Philippians 2:3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
3 Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.
Vanity
A toothpick in my hand and a mouth full of falsies
Makes me seem important in this world of make-belief
The leader of the band leading chosen pansies
With dire persistence compliments to receive
The roaring of laughter I take for appreciation
The stroking of my pride fills my need to shine
Prepaid for the hereafter, I’ll rise to the occasion
That all be alright as now everything seems fine
Jan Wienen
