The Pachyderm on Tricycle



In pursuit of the quintessence of existence, we must exert ourselves
To imitate the pachyderm on tricycle,
Whose acrobatic performances necessitate both fortitude and ambition
And demonstrate that to thrive, we must be pliant.

With every rotation of the wheel, each footfall, we acquire
To maintain equilibrium on the tightrope, robust and unwavering,
And confront the ring's dazzling illuminations, our hearts aflame,
Enduring all to unearth the ultimate purpose, prepared.

Like the elephant, we must be indomitable, audacious,
And traverse through trials, unperturbed by the possibility of failure,
For in the circus of life, as recounted in legends,
To discover our raison d'être, we must transcend all.
