Life treats us kind and fair,

Life brings us joy, delight,

But we tend to despair

Rather than to fight.

 

Each day is like a rainbow

Full of happy stripes,

But mankind tends to sorrow

Within frustrated eyes.

 

We suffer, bear burdens,

Believe and sacrifice,

Belong to soul-mourners,

Or thrive in paradise;

 

Are haunted by solutions

Telling truth and lies,

Lost among confusions,

Tears, envy, cries.

 

A human soul is endless,

Immortal, searching, finding.

A human life is senseless

Without faith and striving.
