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

or at least "The unbeatable slow machine" sounds familiar......
