**** your self by giving
of yourself, that's living,
seek enjoyment and take
of others, 'n wither 'n flake
so goes the ancient wisdom
that has not aged with time
its part of ancient system
no sugar-coated rhyme
seek to give
and not receive
you will live
and will not grieve
but if in receipt
of constant eat
that breathing breath
is living death
he who lives it knows it
it aint so quaint to hear,
but if you're one who chose it
you'll know its truth is clear
