Goals are futile
setting goals is futile
reaching a goal is futility
Gain is futile
chasing wealth is futile
the lust for more is futility
Men plan and work
toiling in hope to earn
wealth, influence, noteriety
Dreams of empires
visions of conquering
longing for monuments to themselves
Yet empires fall
monuments are ruined
and futility reigns over all
Mankind reaps wind
and returns to the dust
wealth inherited by the living
But rich and poor
get joy from food and friends
fresh air and rest and simple living
When life is lived
with plain, simple graces
small joys are the spring of true
pleasure
