What is life?
If it is to be lived in vain,
Without profitable pain,
If it is to be lived in vanity,
Without a certain destiny,
If it is to be lived in disgrace,
Even with the availability of abundant grace,
If it is to be lived purposelessly,
When thousands are lying helplessly,
Of what use are riches,
If they should be used selfishly,
While souls perish in poverty,
If they should be lavished on prostitutes,
While the streets are filled with the destitutes,
If they should be invested in selfish gain,
While the poor suffer in untold pain,
If they should be expended on those who with contempt regard it,
While many grope in stark illiteracy...Think about it!
