The Rudderless Vessel
What if I have faith, yet love not my neighbour - who am I?
What if I have love, but care not for my soul - who am I?
What if I have fame, yet possess no sanctity - who am I?
What if I have wealth, yet have no health - where am I?
What if I give charity merely for fame - where am I?
What if I have everything I need, yet there's no peace within - where am I?
What if I knew all things around me, yet know not of my destiny - where am I?
I became nothing,
nor will I reach anywhere,
Like a rudderless vessel
Upon a vast endless ocean.
