Life is such a string of beads

That's it.

Plants

Those soft and fresh

Are mercilessly eaten by herbivores

Those that are good at defending themselves

The thorny and poisoned ones

Are not spared

Animals

The meek and weak

Are swallowed by the fierce and strong

The fierce and strong ones

For humans, the same

can't escape

Humans

Think they are strong and supreme

But when death comes

They will be swallowed by the catacombs

To become the food of the earth

Life

Is a string of beads

In the hands of God, it goes round and round

There is no end and no beginning

Until it disappears together with the earth
