which is greater
power or glory, wealth or truth
wisdom or love
think before you answer
for power leads to jealous war
power would add to power
and glory is fleeting
only the masters feign immortality
poetry is lost, monuments crumble
wealth is ridiculous
it buys the world but only for a time
useless treasure for a king's grave
love is two sided
the human heart is selfish
love is a path to deceit and betrayal
truth is an argument
a demand that assaults belief
truth shifts like an endless wind
wisdom is untouchable
no man can define it
it is instinct and intuition in disguise

I would like to translate this poem
Full of wisdom. This poem speaks a lot of truth. A very balanced view of things. Some things cannot be weighed or measured.
Exactly. I believe humans put too much value on many things that lack value and we often undervalue things of great value like life and health.
