seers foretell
through meditative trances
what providence beholds
inevitable calamities
that will follow
with the rise and fall of fortunes
at my baptism
mystic prophets chant mantras
from ancient scriptures
know yourself then, now, and tomorrow
in this eternal journey of life
all deeds, past, present and future
ruled by the eternal laws of action
my time of birth, my time of death
written and cast in granite stone
cannot be erased
