Abstrak
This poem reflects on the transient nature of life and the impermanence of our experiences, decisions, and relationships. The author encourages the reader to live in the present, make the most of each day, and treat others with respect, as the end of one's existence is inevitable.
The poem begins by urging the reader to seize the day, as tomorrow's events may fade away. It then contemplates the insignificance of one's life choices in the grand scheme of things, as ultimately, "it's zero that you'll grasp." The author suggests that the only lasting connections are with family and close friends, who will be the ones to mourn the reader's passing.
The poem cautions that "unhappiness might be your friend" until the end, but that the reader's "destination will hold then." It emphasizes the importance of thinking wisely, enjoying one's existence, and respecting the people one meets, as "it's time to act now, not then."
The overall message is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the need to cherish each moment and relationship, as the end of one's existence is certain.

"Ultimately, it's zero that you'll grasp,
From then till now, till your last lap."
"Until your existence meets its end,
Unhappiness might be your friend,
But your destination will hold then."
"So think wisely and enjoy the existence on land,
The people you meet, give them respect,
Think of each second until the end."
