Mayfly's Comparison
The lifetime of a mayfly is a
single day leading to eternity,
while a single day for a man
may be lost and ever forgotten
Within seven days mayfly
colonies die, while for
months and years a man
lives silencing own breath
Within a single week flowers
in a vase bloom to rot, while
throughout decades a man is
stuck in a rot unskilled
The speed of time is a virtue to
flowers and flies, while the speed
of time kills a fading man with
regrets and disparaged sighs
