Qoheleth Haiku 2:7


7I bought male and female slaves, 
and had slaves who were born in my house; 
I also had great possessions of herds and flocks, 
more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

Material wealth
What does it profit a man
Should he lose himself

Culture’s no excuse
For owning human beings
Humanity cries

Slave owners equate
Human beings to livestock
Who would ever guess

Wisdom discovers
Material wealth fleeting
What has true value

More than keeping up
Our life goal is to surpass
The Joneses next door

The smug elitist
Sees his class superior
To all other groups
