What is the difference between agreement and disagreement?
What is the difference between what is beautiful and what is ugly?
What is the difference between those who fear and are feared?
The people are merry as if in the throes of a magnificent party
Or playing at the park during spring
But I am tranquil and wandering
Like a newborn before it learns to smile
Alone, with no true home
The people have enough and more to spare
While I have nothing
My heart is foolish, muddy and cloudy
The peoples' are bright and certain
I am dim and confused
The people are clever and wise
Where I am dull and ignorant
Aimless as a wave drifting out to sea
Attached to nothing
The people are busy with purpose
While I am impractical and rough
I do not share the peoples' cares
I am fed at nature's breast
