Stone Statue

If you think about yourself, 
Your soul might fade away.
This life loses meaning, drifting day by day.
If your heart turns to stone, devoid of grace,
Among the statues, you’ll find your place.

A stone statue won’t warm the body’s core,
It keeps living souls from coming to the door.
Humans forget the good in a short time,
But treachery, you can't erase it from your mind.

With health in hand and peace within the land,
What more do you need than kindness, grand?
No harm, no gain, just standing in the way,
Stone Statue is good for seeing from the away.
