Why do you build your house on quicksand?

Though clearly observing its defects,
why have you not examined the matter more in detail?
The structure is shaking severely

because of its fragile foundation.

Since ages you have been wasting your time
in constructing that castle on quicksand.
You have applied much energy,
investing blood, sweat and your own hard labour to build it.
All along you obtained satisfaction

by imagining that which is bound by the temporary and ephemeral.

After the river breaks its border,
the marshy quicksand will destroy it altogether.
All imaginary colours will float away
and only the non-decaying absolute will remain.
