15Then I said to
myself,
"What happens to the fool will happen to me also;
why then have I
been so very wise?"
And I said to myself that this also is vanity.
Life is no respecter
Of one’s mental
qualities
All have the same
needs
Death is no respecter
Of one’s moral
condition
Everyone will die
Things we can’t
control
Occur to all in
common
Even unique ones
The wisest will die
Perhaps he already
has
Or should I say “she”
How does the sage
know
That he has been very
wise
Does someone tell him
Who instructs the
wise
Don’t they tell him
at the start
What his end will be
As a fading breath
When the wise man
breathes his last
He fades with the
fool
