When wealth flows, friends gather like shadows;
In times of need, even one may vanish.
It’s an old tale: the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
We watch towers rise, hear nightly songs,
Then see them crumble in silence.
Life is a play—be both actor and audience.
Play your part with grace, yet stay awake behind the mask.
In every moment, seek to uplift others and honor yourself.
Let us walk this world with steady hearts,
Practicing truth not in words, but in deeds.
For the path is long, and the light we carry is our own.
