Life is an impartial balance
From its beginning to its end
It weighs you not as a foe
Nor does it weigh you as a friend
It comes to you uninvited
In the dark within the womb
Then leaves without consent
And you are laid within the tomb
Life cares not if you be rich or poor
Life cares not if you be strong or lame
Life comes to each just as they are
To life, we are all the same
Life does not possess us
Rather, we are possessors of life
Possessors of its many joys
Possessors of its many strifes
Pursue life to its utmost meaning
Do ! That ,within your heart you know
For life is not your friend
Nor is life your foe
