For goodness sake

Ecclesiastes 1:13

13 I devoted myself to search for understanding

and to explore by wisdom everything being done under heaven.

I soon discovered that God has dealt a tragic existence to the human race.

 

 

Changing weather ... changing mood

Priorities in such not well understood

Seldom works out for our own good

Priorities smashed under my own foot

 

Irritation rises within everywhere

In my heart when I’m not there

Emotions drive me through a sphere

That to common sense seems not fair

 

Human nature here at steak

Always searching for a break

Impatience expressed: “For goodness sake”

Based on religiousness that is fake

 

Approach things now as a game

Certainly someone else to blame

Always to clear our own name

So we always be the same

 

Now you’re ready to write down

How to use others like a pawn

Level them even with the ground

And to treat them then as silly clowns
