The Ultimate Race
Sriman Marpadga
The trials of life are abundant,
Trials of which most can not face,
Whereas others are redundant,
Although the ultimate trial remains the race.
For this race can be won by none,
No matter the cost,
All will fall one by one,
For we will all eventually be lost.
This race, none can raze,
So long as we sustain,
We can only grow from phase to phase,
For from this race to death none can abstain.
The ultimate trial, all will face,
For no one can escape the ultimate race.
