Of old man’s eyes and bitter lies
Often human birds sang of life
cocoons of bitter experience filled
but butterflies sang of joy
no – I cannot comprehend their melody
fine rhapsodies of jail time
they played
but the mortal is beyond comprehension
but the mortal is beyond liberation
of father of Gods (set in three)
give me wisdom of fright
(set me free)
why won’t you see the perils of greed?
(set me free)

After having read this god knows how many times, I still don’t understand it. 😦
It is very difficult indeed, even I have a hard time explaining it. To put it short: Mankind can never understand the basic needs of nature, and other creatures, and because they (we) lack understanding of such things, mankind is never content, fearing change and the future, while guided and motivated solely by greed.
