Kohelet Tells Us Poem by Shalom Freedman

Kohelet tells us


Kolhelet tells us
To enjoy our lives
We are here for a while
And in that while
Enjoy

Kohelet tells us
We will not live forever
And nothing we will ever do
Will forever last

Enjoy our lives
In the time we are here

Kohelet tells us
There will come a time
When we cannot enjoy our lives

Kohelet tells us to fear God

Kohelet tells us contradictions
Life is contradictions

Enjoy our lives
Fear God
Live in and through the contradictions

Vanity of vanity
All is vanity

Except our lives
Except fearing God
