Analysis of The greatest virtue
The greatest virtue.
I saw how green trees,
turned into naked.
How power was declined
that I read.
How glow of skin
Was disappeared
and wrinkled skin
Was appeared.
How inteligence
turned into nothingness.
How reasoning thoughts
turned into thoughtless.
Nothing is permanent.
Changes are inevitable.
but I never found,
downfall of any heart
Which was humble.
