1. Your opposition to some people is hoped to bring about wishes
And in life there are folks whose opposition is wisdom

2. So break your fast when they fast and fast when they break it
Out of experience, for the remedy is to be contrary

3. And if the young man's time had not been right when nearly
He would not have firmly decided to abandon life

4. Oh, subdue these souls, for they are
Vile she-camels that cannot be controlled by resolve

5. And no fair arbitrator has come in the ancient world
Nor will he come, but our injustices are certain
