Vanity Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

Vanity is a very bad thing
it has the ability to make you think
that you are better than ordinary people
and it lets you think that you are a god
or a prince or a wealthy landlord
although you are not

Vanity withholds you from bowing down to others.
it stiffens your back,
it drives you to think that are the only one
who is important
that the world revolves around you.

Vanity makes you believe
that you are different
better than others
and that you alone are special,
it gives you a big head
be careful, your hat may not fit.
Vanity is evil;
this houseguest of yours
takes over your life
and you are under its command.

All people are created to be equal
whether we are white or black or yellow
we are all made to be unique
from the blueprint of God.
This is the honest truth.
