I would liken love
To a wheat kernel,
When sowed, it’ll grow into an ear of grain
And even into a wheat field,
One wheat kernel would give a soul
Into millions of wheat kernels.
Souls become one soul
Now tell me, you, Humankind
If love would lessen by sharing
Would those souls be alive then
What is there beyond a soul
Why on earth you are in a hurry
Is your only concern to be a true soul
Without those living souls
What’s in a soul
Abandon this greed, selfishness
Even the Creator shared
All the created ones
What the hell is the matter here
You, Humankind
You can’t take it when you die
What did the person take before your time
What do you call a soul, a life
Seems to be nothing but a white shroud…
