You build a home, it collapses on you

You build a home, it collapses on you
It is better to find shelter next to a rock or hill
For those cannot be knocked in to kill you
Or sleep on the ground,
And assume you won't be stepped on.
Those so keen of self-protection
Who build uneasy roofs and shabby walls
Even taking the energy to design
It is foolishness,
Nothing lasts forever.
In a land so full and bustling
Lifestyle revolving around new trade
Slow die men of cowardice
Hiding in boxes,
Never letting go of anything.
Long live sore-footed travelers
Goods brought from farthest lands
Daring thievery, disloyalty, physical pain
Or heartbreak,
Whatever torment life delivers
Wanderers resilient regardless

Overcoming and homefree
