TENTS

We are equal when drinking water
We are equal in needing bread
Bread and water
The irreplaceable for man

The teacher in whose classes
One is tested by fire
Love
The irreplaceable for man

It is there when we are
Not there when we are not
Virtue
The irreplaceable for man

The most desired
The most distant dream
Peace
The irreplaceable for man

It leaves with one action
With another action it perishes
Earth
The irreplaceable for man
