DIDACTIC: "LIFE DOESN'T WORTH ALL OUR STRUGGLES" BY YUSHAB ABOLORE

Life is fleeting, like a gust of wind,

Driven by forces beyond our ken.

For all our struggles, what do we gain?

A final breath, an end to pain.

Life is but a fleeting flicker,

A moment's breath, a fleeting glimmer,

An endless quest for wealth and fame,

A struggle no one truly can sustain.

We strive to make our mark on this earth,

But in the end, it's of little worth.

We gather possessions like a hoard,

But they can't come with us when we go.

We work and strive and hope and pray,

Chasing after riches every day,

But what we gain is but fleeting gold,

Leaving us empty, weak and cold.

So why should we waste our precious time,

Chasing after things that won't be mine?

Instead, let's use our time to love,

To help, to heal, to rise above.

For life is nothing but a fleeting breeze,

A moment's joy, a pain that ease,

A vain pursuit of power and might,

That fades away like darkness in the light.

So why spend our days in endless strife,

For wealth and fame and earthly life,

When in the end all that we find,

Is but a fleeting madness of the mind.

For life is just a fleeting thought,

A momentary glimpse of what we sought,

A shadow of the greatness we envisioned,

A reminder of our humble human condition.

Therefore, let us find our solace,

In simple joys, in love and grace,

For in the end, what truly counts,

Is not the wealth or fame that mounts.

But the love we shared, the friendships gained,

The memories made, the moments sustained,

For life is not about what we've earned,

But the love and kindness that we've learned.

Live a life that will make a difference,

Help others with love and persistence.

For when we're gone, let it be known,

That we lived a life that was worth our own.

So cherish every moment, every breath,

And let kindness be your final test.

For in the end, when all is said and done,

It's love that will endure beyond.
