To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
~ Aristotle

It's not enough

To be enough

These days

Or do enough

Or make enough

We are trapped

Completely

Inexorably

In the culture

Of more

And more

And more

A better job

House

Car

And what have you

 

Things outwear

Their welcome

Soon

We seek

New

And better

And shinier

Why can't

We live

Satisfied

Content

With little

With what we

Have

Why must we

Go after

Pursue

Fight

Compete

Why not

Grow

Foster

Nurture

What's

Inside

 

Will we ever

Stop

Our quest?

Where

Can it lead

Running

Round

And round

In circles

Finally

To rest

In one spot

But alas

Too late

 

~Me
