MAN THE MORTAL

I AM A WANDERER

I GO HITHER AND THITHER

SEARCHING FOR THINGS THAT CAN

NEVER BE FOUND.

I AM A BEGGAR

I GO FROM DOOR TO DOOR

WITH A BEGGING BOWL THAT CAN

NEVER BE FILLED.

I AM A SWIMMER

I SWIM DEEPER AND DEEPER

TO FATHOM THE DEEPEST SEA THAT CAN

NEVER BE FATHOMED.

I  AM A LOVER

I GO SHOWING LOVE AND KINDNESS

TO ALL WHOSE PAINS CAN

NEVER BE CURED.

ALL THESE CAN NEVER BE DONE

BECAUSE I AM A MAN

THE MORTAL.
