Contentment

When you don't get what you want You want what you get That is the golden rule of life Which makes you always happy. If you let go of that want Which you have, I can bet That with it to you will come strife Which will make all things around you flappy! So, be contented with that you have Lest it be taken from you with force Or it be divided into the halve And returned to another or the source! So brethren, to be useful and gay Self contentment is the sure way!

I like the wisdom in this poem. There can be no happy life if we do not practice contentment. Greed has no place in life- it only makes people want more. Well penned Idris!
