I think it lost a bit in transition from the orginal........like rhyme, metre, that sort of thing :lol:

I prefer this one :

“ Life is an immobile, locked,
Three-handed struggle between
Your wants, the world's for you, and (worse)
The unbeatable slow machine
That brings what you'll get."

Must be about Syncro's as well :pimp or at least "The unbeatable slow machine" sounds familiar......
