The message of life is — yes, being is so brief
Trust to the world’s word — is an idiot’s belief
Life begins by feeding — by eating lives as beef
Walking with happy feeling — on the dried, died leaf
Nine's alas, wondering — for a One, Ten is the chief
As ruler at own home — a beggar, sinner, a thief
Worldly souls stress — far from rest, relief
Found glass in falling — hardness of stone, reef
