Vanitas

Vanity, yes, a flaw in humanity that we often don't think much of. Why should we care so much on enhancing what we look like, when God made us the way we are, and to others, it's perfect? It's suprising, though, the amount of talk I hear in school about teenagers succuming to the pressure of looking flawless. And everyone enforcing it.

Ok, well, enough of my thought processing. I think your poem made a strong point and the repetition of "Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas!" definetely gave an edge, it made the poem that little bit more creative and excellent.

Poets like you definetely deserve the praise given; true talent, I only aspire to hold at least half the talent as people like you do.

Ok, well, overall, well done! 5/5!

Tellivangellusion and Apathy.

Great spin on things and the two go together so well.

I would say great. excellent etc, but you know I know that already.

I suppose I should have included a translation... my apologies.

"Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas" is from Ecclesiastes: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

I see why you interpreted stanza 2 as you did, but it was most definitely meant to be a statement not a question. ;)
