Many a wanderer exists in the world, 

but there is no one who thinks or says

that the life he lives is futile. 

There are those who clap their hands and laugh

but they too feel heartache when sorrow finds them. 

However not a single person knows 

that life is just a futile dream. 

People say that there is no one

who could possibly teach them 

anything that they do not already know.

And so they refuse to learn, 

for they think they know it all. 

Thus they live their lives as they please.

I tell them that life is a silent dream 

and that they should lead lives that are valuable, 

but sure enough no one listens;

they just want to sit back

and wait for everything to go according to their wishes. 

They are like thieves, ignorant of what is what. 

They stand there with suspicion in their eyes.
