Chapter 4
I returned and saw them
Suffering under the sun
Without consolation:
I praised the dead
More than the living;
And the future
Praised them too
Before pessimism:
I saw the foolishness of all our work
And envy
Un-such and frustration:
We are consuming ourselves
I returned and saw
More un-such
One somebody else
Is better than none:
If you fall
Fall up
If you fall down
Lift someone up:
I saw all the living who walk under the
Sun; no end to the people I saw —
All un-such and frustration:
Clean off your feet when you enter the House of G*d
At least you came:
Chapter 5
Keep your mouth shut
The voice of fools full of words
Better not to speak at all
Than to promise and not fulfill
You have dreams
Full of un-such:
Just love G*d
And fight the good fight
There’s what to do:
I have seen some evil under the sun;
You leave the way you came in
Be with someone
Get out of the dark and lose that face:
I saw some good
And beauty
When hungry eat
When thirsty drink:
Enjoy the days you have been given
It’s a gift from G*d:
Your days are few
G*d Is:
Chapter 6
I have seen an evil under the sun
A sickness to the soul:
A person of good circumstances
Never satisfied
Comes in with un-such
Goes out in darkness:
A person who knows darkness
Misses the sun
Darkness covers everything:
The pleasures we work for —
Un-such:
What is wisdom?
Better that a person sees
Un-such and frustration increases —
Dog us under the sun
What is good –
Who knows?
We are followed by shadows
And who knows the future —
Under the sun:
