We wager needlessly against fate ,
we weary ourselves making provision
for the approach of a storm that
we cannot weather nor have the scope to survive ;
We plead vainly , striving to make our voice
heard in the void and all its nothingness ;
What we must do then ,
is endure , is strive ,
for enduring and striving are necessary ;
without them there is no living ,
with them there is life ,
and life is hard
and then we die .
