In this hurried life, why the constant tension?
Are we wary of the divine's benevolent intervention?
Why the need to scheme, to outshine, to outdo?
Does deceit really pave the way to triumph we pursue?
Why the urgency to cheat, to cunningly deceive?
Do we believe success requires others to grieve?
Why the impatience, the lack of self-command?
Does the rush to victory obscure life's fancy strand?
In this quest for more, do we lose what truly counts?
Is the pursuit of success leaving us with discounted amounts?
Why not pause, reflect, and grasp life's essence?
Could tranquillity be the key, dispelling the tension's presence?
