something philosophical
Life –a contradiction
So much so that
I have felt it happen
So many times again and again
What would it matter?
If one got what we desired
At the time when
Its need is most
Wouldn’t this world be
A more satisfied one

Or does the creator
Feel that the needs
It will never come to pass
When a man stops having
Any needs or wishes
He would want to satisfy

Why is fulfillment so late in coming?
Ready only
When the need is over
And the result is unimportant
Isn’t it better
More fruitful
Less violent
If the needs…real,
Sincere in its cause
Is completed at the time
That’s right
Wouldn’t there be less
Unhappiness in this small world
If there is less want

Man is only so much
As much his need and hope
Is it true that only
In sadness can a person
Feel the bliss
Of peace and happiness
But what is the use of delayed happiness
Or is it that happiness
Is never delayed
