The only creature too hard to please,
Adamant— man never seems at ease,
Like fish fighting the flow
To be ever on go,
Perchance why man's today where he is.
And his seems the morrows
Greater if greed not glows,
And he'd bask under Ma-nature's breeze.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be him. But he has been like that and he has paid the price and earned prizes for being so. Is not whatever he has achieved today (which is not insubstantial)due to this trait of his? Had he resigned to his destiny of the day, and not tried to transcend it, he would not have been where he is today in the evolutionary race. His next challenge is to rise further. Would he be equal to this challenge? Hope is eternal.

I would like to translate this poem
Man never feels satiated with the achievements he has earned. He aspires to have greater progress! This galloping urge for success leads him to greater success! Will this urge to conquer more aid him or destroy him? Let time prove it!
Yes, let time prove it. I'm also hopeful positively. But the good of nine good people can be annihilated by the evil of one madly greedy man.
