Verse 75
Why are the people starving?—
Because their grain is being eaten up by taxes
That’s why they’re starving
Why are the people rebellious?—
Because those above them meddle in their lives
That’s why they’re rebellious
Why do people regard death so lightly?—
Because they are so involved with their own living
That’s why they regard death so lightly
In the end,
The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on
and gained by those who let go
Because their grain is being eaten up by taxes
That’s why they’re starving
Why are the people rebellious?—
Because those above them meddle in their lives
That’s why they’re rebellious
Why do people regard death so lightly?—
Because they are so involved with their own living
That’s why they regard death so lightly
In the end,
The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on
and gained by those who let go
