Vanity of Vanities

Vanity, all is in vain:

All that man strove to attain

Will return, as he must,

Back to earth’s dust,

And nothing of it shall remain.

Just Passing Through

Overshoot’s no aberration,

But a recognized expectation:

A new permutation

Of species innovation

For a temporary duration.

Wisdom from Walden

Ask how those who suffer privation

Handle all their frustration;

The answer they’re giving:

Most people are living

Lives of quiet desperation.

Corruption and Global Warming

Seeing corruption’s depressing,

But most folks are acquiescing;

Not up to redressing

That kind of transgressing,

They’ll never stop warming progressing.

Why Prepping is Important

Prepping means being a buyer

For when there is no more supplier:

Then things won’t be dire

When what you require,

You should have acquired prior.

Selective Inflation

Selective inflation for you

Means only enough money to

Buy things you desire

And do not require,

But not for the things that you do. 

Feeling Like Cassandra?

What we have to say is so hot,

We can’t see how folks think it’s not;

A more comforting view

Is there’s nothing we can do,

And the long-term difference is squat.
