身如圈裡羊身如圈里羊

身身如如圈圈裡里羊羊
命命報报恰恰相相當当
羊羊即即披披毛毛走走
人人著著好好衣衣裳裳
脫脱衣衣赤赤體体立立
形形段段不不如如羊羊
羊羊即即日日日日死死
人人還还日日日日亡亡
Translation
The body’s like a sheep penned in a corral, fated to what must come. A sheep grows its wool; we wear fancy clothes. Strip away those clothes, we stand naked, hardly better than a sheep. Sheep die day after day, and people too perish every day.
