Analysis of Actors on Earth



We are actors on earth,
Our life is a breath,
We need light and air,
For our success.

Our witness is G-d,
We are never alone,
And through our action,
We are gaining perfection.

Resolving the puzzle,
What‘s true and what‘s false,
Enabling the actors,
To rescue their souls.

The act of salvation,
Is not good or bad,
It is a reaction,
A self-healing path.

We are actors on earth,
Creatures of breathing,
Our daily performance,
A chance for true healing.
