Song of the Divine Madman —

In the garland of my many lives
I have taken the form of every creature.
I remember it only darkly
But I feel it was something like this:

Because now I thrive on drinking beer,
At one time I must have been a bee.

Because now I am filled with so much lust,
At one time I must have been a rooster.

Because now I am so angry,
At one time I must have been a snake.

Because now I am so lazy,
At one time I must have been a pig.

Because now I am so mean and stingy,
At one time I must have had much wealth.

Because now I am so shameless,
At one time I must have been a madman.

Because now I am such a liar,
At one time I must have been an actor.

Because now my manners are so rude,
At one time I must have been a monkey.

Because now I crave the taste of meat,
At one time I must have been a wolf in the wild.

But I am not really sure ...  What do you think?
