“Life is nothing! Life is nothing! ”
Ceasing never, cries the voice deep within.
Dust we are, to dust returneth
Clay in clay recomposes.
Things that happened before, happen again
Life is no magic kaleidoscope,
The names of men both wise and foolish
Are washed with the rolling waves of centuries
Brave and coward alike are blown away
With the winds of time.
Nothing is yours, nothing you gain
For nothing we all labour and sweat in vain.
The rich bleed plucking a rose
The poor bleed earning their bread!
We come to this world, knowing not why?
We go out of this world, knowing not where?
When your breath escapes you, like, the passing wind!
What is wisdom, what is wealth, what is pleasure
And what is life?
Life is nothing, but – a butterfly kissing a flower
The playful breeze caressing your hair
Sweet scent of lilies hidden behind rocks – These
Tell that, “What is, is not”, that Life is but, Nothing!
