Many Are Chasing The Wind Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Many are chasing earthly riches
Many are chasing after distinguished titles
Many are chasing high political or corporate positions
Many are chasing after fame and fortune
Many are chasing after self importance
What eludes them is that they are chasing the wind.

Those who are millionaires aspire to be billionaires
Those who are billionaires aspire to be trillionaires
None of them is content with the money they have
Those in powerful positions want more power
Greed has overtaken them
Pride holds them captive
Illusions haunt them
Ignorance pulls them by their noses
Their know it all attitude leads to their demise
Many are chasing the wind.

They rise and fall
They become public spectacles
They die shameful deaths
They die in their sins
They die without Christ
They miss out of their real purpose in life
They chase the wind until their last breathe.
