Choices

Less or more?
Perpetual dilemma in life
Lofty rationale
Usual, pithy choices
In the end.

My justification
Of my actions, the best
Others laughed at
As lesser mortals
Children of a lesser god.

My high moral ground
Though staunchly held
Is Inequitable, weak
Shallow, Hollow, 
Often Leaves me unhappy.

The lesser God children
Work hard, honestly
Humbly, and fearlessly
Having greater faith
Ready to face any ground reality.
