Transient

 

The twists and turns of life bring confusion

                                                  to the soul

A perpetual quest for gratification is a

                                    ruinous odssey

Chasing after ideologies and false gods

                                a futile undertaking

National and political conflicts come

                                          to nought

Falling in and out of love is an endless

                                            endeavour

The pursuit of happiness perhaps the

                                  greatest illusion

Deceit, lies, cheating and infidelity are

                                wholly destructive

War and conquest with subjugation

                            serve no purpose

For all these are transitory and consumers

                                                    of energy

Hold fast only to that which is permanent

                            secure and trustworthy
