Stone Statue

If a person only thinks of themselves,
They lose the meaning of this life, like a dream.
If your heart turns to stone, cold and unkind,
Among the statues, you will surely be found.
A stone statue does not warm the soul,
It does not let a living being approach, at all.

Mankind quickly forgets the good,
But betrayal is something they never forget!
If you are healthy, and the world is at peace,
What more could you need but to do good deeds?
No one gains or loses from it,
But who will approach a stone-hearted man?
