Desperate

DESPERATE Would it be right to be desperate for what is already yours? For when you least expect you shall open doors Why betray your family and friends And make them blue Lured by lust and greed to what you don’t want to do The masquerade must dance last While not wait for what is yet to come Rather than what will come to past Would it be right to be desperate and crave for less When a dog that is patience gets all that is bless I shall never be desperate for love Because true love is sent from above I shall never be desperate for money Because I don’t want to get in to something funny I shall never be desperate for power Because my status may change by the hour I shall never be desperate for you Unless I am sure that your love is true I shall never be desperate for fame Because already the world knows my name I shall never be desperate for music Because you can make melodies with sticks If you know how to use it I shall never be desperate for position Unless I am the right one for that mission I shall never be desperate for children For when it is time I shall be the one to raise them Time and chance will determine your fate Be that as it may let us not be in haste I shall never sell my birth right in the morning to a cat on a plate And cry in the evening when it is too late I shall never be desperate for knowledge Unless I am sure it will be useful outside college Beware of the fool’s gold And be content with all that you hold For what you have could be sold For nothing in return You have been told
