D. Thurmond Aka Jef (James Everett Falcon)

D. Thurmond Aka Jef (James Everett Falcon)

Segment

Segment (A)

There is a segment of man
That can never be free.
And it clings like a shadow,
It’s name, ... Vanity.
 
For all that man covets
Aspires to desend
And our forever quest
Is grasping the wind.

(1984)

Idea from the Old Testament.
