The Vanity of Vanity מנא מנא תקל ופרסין The kakistocracy Devolves into kleptocracy While the getting is good And never mind democracy Never quite understood By our new aristocracy Out getting what they can For the authoritarian Into inanity A show about insanity Ongoing on TV The criminal reality Insulting to the soul Assaulting our humanity Asserting its control Resulting in absurdity And feeling lesser-than Never mind about feeling free Forgetting what we can Insulted by the angry man Going mad on TV The vanity of vanity Steven Curtis Lance

Reviewed by Ronald Hull

Reviewed on October 30, 2019

It is really strange that wealth gives people the power it does have the power and has over people who don't have wealth. Don't they know that happiness is much better than wealth. Wealth is destroying us by greedy activity that is eating away at our nest at a rapid rate unheard of in human history.

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
