Vanity Poem by Uche Nwanze

Who needs a Heart when it doesn't beat for someone.
Who needs a Life, when there is no one to live for.
who needs an Expedition when there is no treasure to dig for.
Who needs a pot of gold when there is nobody to adorn.
Who needs Love when it is not worth dying for.
Who needs a Soul when there is no soulmate.
Who needs a diamond ring when there is no finger to place it.
Who needs a Home when there is no one to run home to.
Who needs a Journey when there is no destination.
Who needs Peace when there is no justice.
Who needs Food when it won't drive away hunger.
Who needs water when it won't quench thirst.
Who needs Religion when there is no sacrifice.
Who needs Justice when there is no equity.
Who needs Equity when there is no Fairness.
Who needs Democracy when it doesn't bring smiles to the people.
Who needs the Ivory tower when it can't shape you.
Who needs an Invention when it won't touch lives.
Who needs music when there is no one to dance to the beat.
who need shoes when there is no feet to wear them.
Who needs a Crown when there is no head to rest on.
Who needs a Lamp when it won't illuminate the World.
