WEAVED CLOTH
Time isn't forever
Things keep moving across the border
Nothing seems immortal
The day keeps growing brighter

Birds keep outgrowing one another
The growth of a daughter isn't waiting for that of mother
The son's own isn't delayed by that of his father
Sister's isn't bothered by her brother

Everything turning around
Change ploughing the ground
Different tones giving varieties of sounds
This is a surprising turnaround

This life isn't of no return
It's just your turn
Wear well and afraid of thorns
This life is turn by turn.

       COMMENTARY
  There was a time that weaved cloth (aso ofi) was the talk of the town, when only the wealthy ones could afford it comfortably, but where is its value now? Do you also remember that old wagon and tortoise car? Can you remember how valuable they were then? Where are they now?

  Be humble wherever you are today, the person you stepped on today without saying sorry, may be needed on your way down tomorrow, life is like a weaved cloth that would lose quality with time.

  Don't be too sure that you won't be overtake, life is like express road, overtaking is endorsed.
