Everybody sees entertaining wisdom,
pleasures of the heart, pain
and destruction!
Everybody sees entertaining values,
modern technology, efficiency,
death and catastrophe!
Everybody sees climbing cost of
living, modern society, treasure
gathering, greed and anger!
Everybody sees growth of knowledge,
men and children, fancy, ecstasy,
deceits, and turmoils!
Everybody sees ingenuity of fantasies,
husbands and wives, lusts, wickedness,
selfishness, and idols!
Everybody sees ravages of war, beauty
of peace, families, excitements,
lessons and history!
Everybody sees it passively, unwittingly
or plain ignorance that of his own! ?
