An Equal Share of Victory and Defeat-Rhyming Chant

An equal share of victory and defeat... greeting happiness, summoning sadness! An equal share of victory and defeat... rejoicing in light, trembling in darkness! How we live and age depends on circumstance and time... an equal share of victory and defeat! Youth is pure glory when the body is not weak... an equal share of victory and defeat! Before sixty we were vibrant, now frail and ready to die... an equal share of victory and defeat! An equal share of victory and defeat... greeting happiness, summoning sadness! An equal share of victory and defeat... rejoicing in light, trembling in darkness! Taste rain and feel sunshine, ignore wrinkles, age spots and such... an equal share of victory and defeat! Leave gold and everything behind, it's troublesome for the rich... an equal share of victory and defeat! Have we lived fearlessly or covered by a sheet? An equal share of victory and defeat! An equal share of victory and defeat... greeting happiness, summoning sadness! An equal share of victory and defeat... rejoicing in light, trembling in darkness! What we accomplish through life remains bright or bleak... an equal share of victory and defeat! Gray hair means wisdom, neglect the puffiness under the eyes... an equal share of victory and defeat! We came into existence to lead meaningful, not purposeless lives... an equal share of victory and defeat! An equal share of victory and defeat... greeting happiness, summoning sadness! An equal share of victory and defeat... rejoicing in light, trembling in darkness!
