Qoheleth Haiku 2:8


8I also gathered for myself silver and gold
and the treasure of kings and of the provinces;
I got singers, both men and women,
and delights of the flesh, and many concubines.

Wealth’s distribution
Is skewed toward the elitists
Who outsmart the poor

Why we equate wealth
With blessing calls to question
Our integrity

What are the “singers”
The producers of music
Or euphemism

Of wealth and power
That which the kings of earth seek
What gives them value

Music perversion
To stimulate the senses
Without meeting needs

Egocentrism
Of the sage and of the king
Is still self-centered
